Mr. Wucherer’s Classroom News (March 9th-13th) 

 A Peek At The Week:  Our essential question will be:  How do you take care of different kinds of pets?  New vocabulary words to be introduced are; responsibility, train, depend, compared and social.  We will continue to work on verbs (action words) and learning how to write questions and answers!  Students will work on discussing the plot of the stories and cause-effect.  Students will continue to work on their comprehension by making predictions of the story and then confirming or revising those predictions as the story goes along.  Please continue to work on these same stills as you read to your child or have them reading to you.  Students will also be learning about living and nonliving things.  Math will find them working hard at putting numbers in sequence, adding doubles plus one, telling time, story problems, probability, graphing, estimating, base ten, missing addend, fact triangles and fact families.  Math will also be one last round of testing on new material.  You can see it is going to be another very busy week at school!!   I have noticed some of the kids getting very tired in afternoons! 

 Looking Ahead:   Our essential question will be:  Where do animals live?  New vocabulary words to be introduced are; habitat, wild, complain, join, stubborn.  We will continue to work on verbs (action words) and learning how to write questions and answers!  Students will work on discussing the plot of the stories and cause-effect.  Students will continue to work on their comprehension by making predictions of the story and then confirming or revising those predictions as the story goes along.  Please continue to work on these same skills as you read to your child or have them reading to you.  Students will also be learning about living and nonliving things.  Math will find them working hard at subtraction, putting numbers in sequence, adding doubles plus one, telling time, story problems, probability, graphing, estimating, base ten, missing addend, fact triangles and fact families.  You can see it is going to be another very busy week at school!!
