Welcome to Mrs. Munnelly's website! February 2012
I cant believe it is February already! We have been so lucky with the weather thus far. We have been able to enjoy recess outside most days. Keeping this in mind, please make sure your child has the appropriate outdoor clothing, hat, scarf, and gloves.
In reading, we have been busy working in our reading groups, as well as independently reading, and partner reading. We have been very busy in our non-fiction unit. We have been reading non-fiction books and finding the main idea and the details that support this idea.
We will soon begin our biography unit in reading. In keeping with black history month, we will be reading about famous black people, which I will tie into our writing.
PLEASE READ EACH NIGHT WITH YOUR CHILD
For our non-fiction writing unit, your children have been writing reports, (please see our bulletin board in front of our room) and we have also just completed our very own non-fiction books. As we share our books with our classmates your child will bring his/hers/ home to share.
We will be beginning our non-fiction biography unit in writing. I have introduced this topic by having the students interview each other and they will turn this interview into a "Friend Biography". They are very excited and cant wait to share with their classmates.
In math,we are have just finished unit 6 and will begin unit 7 which will include patterns and numeration.
In science we are full on into our soils unit. In social studies we are learning all about black history month.
FYI....Valentines day party on Tuesday February 14. Winter break begins February 20, school will resume on Feb. 27.
