Week of December 6-10

A look at what we will be studying this week.........

• In Language Arts we will be singing a planet song "These Old Planets" to help us remember the order of the planets.  We will be doing a lot of interactive writing and editing on each each of the planets during our Language Arts block. 
• In Math we will move into adding tens (example: 52+21).  We will also be taking our weekly timed test.  We will be taking two of them per week.  I will be notifying you if you child is having difficulty so you will know to practice at home.
• In science will continue to look at each planet and discuss the characteristics.  We are making a flip book to hold all the information we are learning.
