Reader's Workshop
Since we are learning about wolves in Expedition, we are going to tie in reading with this. We will begin our Fairy Tale study this week. Our main focus will be on characters, and specifically, how wolves are portrayed in these stories. We'll compare and contrast these characters with facts we learn in Expedition.
Writer's Workshop
You will begin to see your child's writing coming home in a purple folder. Please take a look at it, and put it back in the folder to return to school the next day. The writing pieces will then be placed in your child's portfolio. Thanks for helping your child make sure his or her writing comes back to school, in the purple folder, the next day.
Math
We are continuing to get more experience with money. Today, we learned how to compare costs of items. The word we paid attention to was "difference." This clued us in to know that we need to subtract when we are comparing costs.
Expedition
What a wonderful day of fieldwork we had last Thursday!! The Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center was amazing. We learned so much about wolves, from adaptations they have to how they interact with their habitat. We also learned why we should care if they are endangered. Before we left, we got to interact with the wolves by communicating with them through howling. Such a cool experience!
