Central Idea Living Things Have Different Homes and Habitats That Meet Their Needs We will be inquiring into the beach habitat with our field trip on Sunday morning. On our return the children will be reflecting on what they saw at the beach and how people impact the lives of ocean animals.

*In Writing Workshop the children will be writing, “What Am I?” books.

This will be made into a class book and each animal picture will be covered with a flap of paper so that the other children can read the clues and guess what the animal is! *In Reading Workshop the children are continuing to use, Pointer Power, Picture Power, Sound Power, Persistence Power, Snap Word Power and Re-read Power.

Central Idea Living Things Have Different Homes and Habitats That Meet Their Needs We will be inquiring into the beach habitat with our field trip on Sunday morning. On our return the children will be reflecting on what they saw at the beach and how people impact the lives of ocean animals. In class we will carry out an experiment about floating and sinking and relating this to the trash that is in the ocean. We will explore ways that we can help to keep the ocean and the beach clean.
In math we will begin an inquiry into subtraction. We will explore the following: *what is subtraction? *different strategies for solving subtraction problems (e.g. using fingers, objects, drawing, equations) *solving subtraction word problems within 10 *fluently subtracting within 5
We were busy completing assessments for reading and addition in math. The children began their jungle exploration by reading books about jungles and jungle animals. They began to ask questions about the jungle for our inquiry and they played in the jungle making observational drawings of all the amazing animals we now have ‘living’ there! Our class jungle is a very popular place to be right now!!! The children also put a lot of energy into preparing for the upcoming Mother’s Day Celebration at school on Monday 21st. They are very excited and we hope that all the Mom’s will be able to join us in the cafeteria on Monday morning. Enjoy your weekend. Kind regards, Ms. Veronica
