Here's Whats Happening in March

Reading
·         Our comprehension focus turns to nonfiction books to correlate with our nonfiction writing.  We are also working on reading new words and understanding their meanings.  Please remember to return the guided reading books back to school.

Writing
·         Our writing will focus on nonfiction topics like  animals, plants, habitats, and community workers. 


Math
·         We started 2D (flat) shapes and are now introducing 3D (solid) shapes.  We learn, not only the names of the shapes but also the attributes of each shape and how they are the same and different. 

Science and Social Studies
  In Science, we finished up our habitat unit and are learning about the animals and plants that live in Maryland.  In Social Studies, we are focusing on economics by learning about community workers and goods and services.

                                                   ESOL
·         In ESOL this month, we will continue to work on stretching words to identify sounds, as well as reading books, discussing vocabulary and asking and answering questions about community helpers and good or services in the marketplace.
