Hi,
We had a wonderful time at the Bob Bullock Museum today. Thank you to all the parents who came and chaperoned groups. The children seemed to have a lot of fun and hopefully learned some things as well. They were very well behaved! Ask them about the movie in the Star of Destiny theater. Ask them also about the primary sources that they saw. They should have A LOT to talk about.
Reading: Next week in reading we will be practicing skills by doing an AMAZING RACE! They will have activities to complete and then earn "money" based on how they did. At the end the person with the most money wins! They will be practicing using context clues, inferencing, determining important information from interesting details, writing summaries, and determining point of view. It will be fun! We will do an activity a day this week and next Monday. We also will be reading and responding to some books about natural disasters. We are beginning some new book club groups as well.
Writing: We are continuing to work on our persuasive letters.
Math: We will be continuing to review and do problem solving.
Social Studies: We will be learning about Texas heroes and settling in the west.
