Here’s a peek at next week:
Spelling words: fable, cuddle, little, puzzle, able, title, cradle, middle, shuttle, battle
Challenge Words: comfortable, acceptable
Phonics- "le" ending pattern
Reading: Daily 5 with emphasis on beginning. middle and ending, finding evidence in text to support answer and retelling the story. What was the author's purpose? This week we will be reviewing skills we have already learned. (Text features and comprehension strategies)
L.Arts: We will focus on things that are needed in a sentence. What is a sentence? Is this a sentence? What is a fragment? What is a run on?
Writing Workshop: Students will review and begin a new teaching book. Students will have the opportunity to research information about an animal, write about it and present it to the class. We will focus on finding the important parts in our text. How can we share information from the book we are reading without plagiarizing?
Math: Students will continue going over MAP review skills. We will review polygons, 2-D shapes and 3-D shapes. What is a polygon? What is a non-polygon? How are 2-D and 3-D shapes alike and/or different?
Science: Students will continue to investigate different animal habitats. They will learn about the Rainforest, Wetlands, Oceans, Arctic and Desert. We will look at what animals need to survive in each area and why other animals from other habitats would not be able to live there. ( Ex: polar bear would not be able to survive in the desert) This week students will begin to build a habitat for the animal they have researched. They will need their shoe boxes and other materials from home to build at school this week. :)

Calling All 1st Grade Parents!
Ms. Granger needs volunteers to help with the 1st Grade Musical, "E-I-E-I-Oops!" Help is needed with the scenery and costumes for this performance. Workdays to help with both will take place on the following days:
Monday, March 21
If you are able to help, please come to the Art & Music rooms from 2:45-4:00 pm. Children are welcome, and they can even help, so you can write a note for any school-aged children to stay after school on any day you are able to work. You may want to bring your child a snack for after school.
We are also asking for donations of gallon Ziploc bags. We will need one for every 1st grade student to keep each child's costume in one safe place. If you are able to send in any with your child, it would be greatly appreciated!
If you are interested in helping or have any questions, you can contact Lindsey Pollack at LHPollack@hotmail.com.
We will be collecting fresh fruits and vegetables to display on our farm set during the musical. Please see below which item your child’s class is assigned. After the musical, we will donate those items to the Cooking Club who will use the fruits and vegetables to make meals to give to families who might otherwise go without food. So your donation is not just for our musical, but it will go towards a wonderful cause! Please consider sending in whatever you are able to donate. Please send in your donations by Monday, March 28th.
