Hi families!
In social studies this week, students were introduced to the Japanese culture through the class anchor book, Look What Came from Japan. Their new background knowledge will serve them well as we learn more about this fascinating country and on our March field trip to the Boston Children's Museum's Japanese house exhibit. In math, we moved into a short unit on time before we begin multiplication and division. Here are some of our learning objectives for time this week: -Discuss features of an analog and digital clock. -Tell time as minutes after the hour or minutes before the hour. -Understand half hours as a fraction of an hour. -Relate daily activities to the time. -Understand the abbreviations a.m. and p.m. -Use a clock to find the time interval in minutes or in hours. In writing, students have been doing a great job adding original predicates to their sentences. Our focus now is focusing in on the function of verbs and reviewing rules around plurals. Upcoming Dates: Wednesday, February 6th: Band of Friends performance at All School Meeting. All the best! Mrs. Tavares
