Fantastic
February
News:
Dixie has started "Fun Fridays!" As you know,
each Friday will have a different theme (i.e. - pajama day, hat
day, jersey day, etc.) Please ask your child about the
theme for each week. This Friday is "Inside-Out Day."
The students will have so much fun wearing
their clothing inside out!!!
We have been focusing on summarizing this week in reading.
We are teaching the children how to pick out the most important
parts of the story. The students have also been working on
their visualizing skills in reading. We are teaching the
students how to picture a story in their mind as they read.
We have started classifying objects in science and will soon be
learning about the states of matter. The students will be
learning about solids, liquids, and gases. We will also be
reading lots of books about famous African-Americans, dental
health, and our early presidents this month.
In writing, the students are getting lots of practice writing in
their journals. The students have been writing stories,
letters, and lists. We have also been revising our pieces.
We have completed Unit 5 in math and are currently working
on skills in Unit 6. Please continue to practice counting
coins (dimes, nickels, and pennies) and telling time to the
quarter-hour with your child at home. |
