Curriculum News & Information
This past week we spent some time during our Reading/Literacy block taking a look at some fun stories about winter. This also gave us the opportunity to look at the changing seasons which we get the chance to enjoy right here in central Illinois. During this upcoming week, we will be taking a closer look at a specific Magic Tree House book titled, Blizzard of the Blue Moon. As we explore this book, we will be working on some more challenging vocabulary words and also taking a look at the meanings and usage of idioms. This is always a fun part of our English language that children like to explore!
In Math, we will be continuing to review some of the more important skills covered during our first semester before moving on to some of the very important skills yet to cover! During our Science time we will be learning a bit more about the water cycle as we study the science behind snow…..and how exactly it is formed!
There are several other skills and topics to be covered this week, but we will also be working on our benchmark tests this first full week back. Please remind students to come to school well-rested and ready to do their best, as they always do!
