Reading - This week we're reading a selection called Carnivores by Aaron Reynolds. It is a humorous tale about 3 carnivores, a lion, shark, and timber wolf who realize that it's lonely at the top of the food chain. They decide to become vegetarians to start making more friends. They try disguises as well, but nothing works. They finally learn to accept themselves and feel at peace.
Vocabulary words this week: frenzies, misleading, carnivores, begetarian, disguise, appetite
We'll work on writing a story summary and answer the Five "W" Questions (who, what, when, where, and why) about a story. We'll also discuss the topic of debating a subject.
Math - This week we'll be working with 2D shapes. We'll learn to recognize and draw shapes having certain attributes, such as number of angles and faces. We'll identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons.
Animal Projects - Thank You for helping your child with their animal poster or diorama! They are all so interesting! Please plan to attend our Open House on Thursday evening. It will be a great chance for your child to show off their work! I'm looking forward to seeing you!
