MATH: This week we are continuing to explore 2-D shapes. We are learning how shapes are the same and different from each other. We will also learn to make new shapes by combining other shapes.

POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS
This week, we are working on a special powerpoint presentation to present at our student-led conferences. In this, each student is reflecting upon our subject areas. We can't wait to present them to you next week!
INSECT PROJECTS
READING: This week, we are continuing our research on our insects. We will research habitat, life cycle, and interesting facts about our insect. Have your child check out Pebble Go at home to learn a little more about his/her insect.
WRITING: This week we will begin taking our research about insects and compiling it into a non-fiction All About Book. We will learn about the parts of an All About book and how to organize our information into chapters or sections.
HOME PROJECT: Please see the homework log this week for a description of the INSECT MODEL project that will go along with your child's in-class work. Your child may use a variety of materials to create this model at home: construction paper, papier-mâché, tissue paper, paints, clay, play dough, household items, etc. We will display them at student-led conferences. Get creative! :)
THIS MODEL WILL BE DUE TUESDAY, MARCH 17TH.

SOCIAL STUDIES: MAPPING PROJECT
This week, we are working on creating maps of important places in our lives. We will compile our maps in a book of maps to present to you at student-led conferences. Your child will have two maps to create at home: (1) Bedroom map & (2) Neighborhood map. Check out the project description in your child's homework log. To create these maps, your child will need to:
* include a map title
* consider space & location
* use symbols to represent other things
* create a map key to tell what symbols mean
* use important labels
If your child would like to do more maps to include in his/her book, please feel free to get creative! (I will send out the template via email for more copies).
MAPS ARE DUE MONDAY, MARCH 16TH.
