Just a reminder to check out my scs blog: http://scs-1st-andrea.blogspot.com I have some great pictures of the students’ artwork up. I will be putting up some pictures of the Japanese fans the students made this week. They are beautiful!
Here is a re-cap of this week’s activities:
Reading: Students participated in their regular reading centers this week. We worked on the -wh digraph. For guided reading, each group read a nonfiction book. This is our last unit for the year.
Writing: We have been looking at nonfiction text features. Each student has their own nonfiction text feature book. Everyday, we have been adding examples to our books.
Science: This week, we have been focusing on animal features and a human invention that relates to the animal’s feature. For example, we have been discussing how chameleons change the color of their skin to blend in with its surroundings. A human invention to replicate camouflage, would be hunting clothes.
Social Studies: Students created beautiful Japanese fans this week using black sharpies and watercolors. Students had to create a fan depicting Japanese culture.
Phonics: We focused on the -oa vowel team. Ask your child if he/she remembers the phonics chant for this vowel team.
Have a wonderful long weekend!!
Andrea
