Be sure to ask your child about how a bat uses echolocation. March 4, 2016
Dear Families,
As
I write this letter, the beautiful sunrise is stretching across the sky. March
has definitely come in like a lamb, but with very strong lion winds. You sure
can feel that spring is just 16 days away. However, we often get a big snow in
March. Don’t you just love Colorado weather?
There is
much activity going on in our class. We are beginning to write Procedural Text
or “How-to” text. We have been reading many How-to books. We have been having
so much fun trying our hand at a different kind of writing. I love watching
their writing take on their personal voice.
In math, we
will move on to Unit 7 next week. The parent home link was in their homework
folder on Thursday, March 3. Please be sure to keep it as reference for the
unit. The students did well with the number sense of fact families and names
for numbers in Unit 6. You will find the summary and grade sheet of their work
for Unit 6 soon. I will let you know when grades are posted.
Our
focus was on science this week as we continued to look at sound and began
looking at light. We explored vibrations using rubber bands, experimented with
sounds waves by observing the waves made by dropping an object in water and
viewed salt moving as we made our own sound waves. Next Friday a letter will go
home explaining the “make your own instrument challenge”. This can be a fun
family project.
Please remember:
Ø
Please return the blue folder surrounding the
report card.
Ø
Please
send in Box Tops for Education.

Today
we had an assembly to kick off the Meadowlark Miles Family Festival. Please be
sure to read the packet of information in their Friday folder. PTO will be
raising money to refurbish our book room. After 13 years, many of our reading
group books are falling apart. Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Susan Stark
