Class News
Recess
We will go outside for recess unless the weather is below 20 degrees or it is raining. During this time of rapidly changing weather, please make sure that your student has a jacket for outdoor recess.
Star Students
Each week students who are caught being a Maple Grove Rock Star are given a ticket that they put in our Rock Star bucket. We pick two students each Friday who are Maple Grove Rock Stars. Our Star bucket gets fuller each week. Our students should be very proud of the number of stars our room receives each week!
I Love to Read
Please remember to sign and return the green I Love to Read sheet each week. Students should read at least 50 minutes each week for 6 out of the 8 weeks to earn entry to the I Love to Read Celebration.
Reading
In Reading, we are studying informational texts and focusing on identifying author's purpose and text structure (cause and effect and sequence). We have a short check for understanding each Friday that consists of a reading passage and multiple choice questions.
Math
We will finish up learning about telling time. Students are doing very well with this topic! Our test will be March 8.
Science
We are going to be studying all about weather over the course of the next few weeks. We will read books about weather and have a daily weather check. We will also have lots of activities as we learn about weather.
Writing this Week
We are going to continue to study how to write informational text over the next two weeks with a variety of topics and techniques.
