Unfortunately, our classroom blog site is unable to make posts from school. I am still in need of parent volunteers to help weekly in the classroom. Let me know if you are interested.
We started Food is Elementary last week. Students learned about hand washing and the steps to use a knife safely. This week we looked at fat in milk. I'm sure you will hear how the family should be using skim milk. Please take time to look at food labels with your child.
In math, we will be taking our unit 2 test. The focus was on partial sums addition and trades first subtraction.
Our story in reading this week is "Teammates". This is a story about Jackie Robinson and Pee Wee Reese. It is important that your child is reading at home every night.
The spelling paragraph this week is:
Jackie Robinson
Jackie Robinson was the first black professional baseball player in the major leagues. He played for the Brooklyn Dodgers. His position was short stop. Pee Wee Reese became a good teammate of Jackie’s. He stood beside Jackie as his friend.
Having children learn paragraphs helps teach writing, spelling, capitals, and punctuation. Please be sure you are practicing this paragraph at home.
Our character trait focus is respect this month. Please try to reinforce this at home. Thank you to all the parents that helped with the jog-a-thon. Lincoln appreciates your contributions and support!
