Reading: We read a lot of different kinds of non-fiction books about bears this week. We learned about text features and main ideas and details.
Writing: After reading non-fiction books we decided to try our hand at writing non-fiction books. The kids did a great job writing about three different kinds of bears.
Social Studies: We learned that maps are an important text feature in many non-fiction books so we added a map of where bears live to our own non-fiction books.
Science: We learned about the habitats of different bears.
Field Trip:
We will go to the zoo even if it is cold! PLEASE DRESS YOUR CHILD APPROPRIATELY FOR THE WEATHER! Right now it looks like the high will be around 37 and the low around 34. Winter jackets, hats and mittens will help us get to and from the indoor exhibits. Talk to your child about putting mittens/hats inside sleeves when indoors. When we are outside it is better to leave the hats and mittens on and adjust the zipper if it gets too warm.
Your child will need a packed lunch that is 100% disposable. We will not bring leftovers back, so try to pack a realistic lunch that will re-fuel, but not be wasted.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Please know that I am grateful to have the best job in the world, working with the 19 smartest, funniest, most amazing kids!
