Terrific Tuesday

What goes round & round? The water cycle of course. Today we started our new Science unit on the water cycle. We got together with Ms. Erickson's class and started a fun project to help explain the water cycle. If your child can tell you the 4 parts we started with today, write water cycle in the planner. Hint: I just posted a song on the link list to help. Fun song-hopefully it becomes some of your favorite listening music. :)
Northeast States & Capitals: We made flashcards today to help us study them. Those will be coming home tomorrow along with a map of their locations.
In Math, we continue to work on money and decimals. We are doing decimals in the tenths & hundredths. As an add on to this we are already learning the fractions too. Have your child write the decimal for forty-five hundredths along with the fraction.
The 3 skills we are working on this week in reading class are: sequencing events, fact/opinion, and cause & effect.
Have your child write 1 fact and 1 opinion about Mrs. Hankins. :) Be nice-haha!!
They ran the 800 today and let me tell you, they were exhausted. Starting tomorrow, they are going to run 1 lap around the playground at morning recess on a daily basis. Hopefully, this will help for when we have to run it again.
Have a great night.
