Together with first grade we learned all about the ocean food chain. Key words included herbivore, carnivore, omnivore, prey, predator and energy. Next week we will be creating posters to teach others about what we learned.
We began our social studies unit, Me on the Map, by sharing a great story by Joan Sweeney. This story helps children learn that everyone has their own special place in the world. Each child is creating his or her own “Me on the Map” to illustrate the following: home, school, town, state, country, continent and planet. The unit will continue as we learn all about mapping and our country.
Upcoming: spelling will begin on Monday. Please look for packets to come home. I will also be sending home reading logs. And, my math group will be starting a new unit on fractions.
Shabbat Shalom,
