Week of :January 24th,2011
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1 In Math we are reviewing measurement and how we “ measure” temperature, what tools we use to measure temperature, what tools we use for weight and height:example we use a measuring cup to measure liquids.
2)In Science we will make the connection to math by reading and practicing measuring classroom temperatures and how to keep healthy and dress properly during the Winter season.
We will begin to make a weather chart based on the chart on page C29. This will allow the children to see and make connections to writing/ science and math: making lists/ collecting and recording information. Reinforce spelling and recognition of the days of the week and recognizing numbers on a thermometer.
3)In Social Studies we will be reading about our Nations symbols : Flag, Liberty Bell as examples.
4)In Religion we will continue discussing the Celebration of Catholic Schools Week. A school wide project we are participating in is raising funds for an orphanage in Haiti.
