Our first Science unit invites us to consider living things. We've sat quietly outside and tried to sort things into living and non-living categories. Two items so far have stirred debate:
- Branches fallen from trees
- Air
Next week we'll begin a home reading program. This works best when the child takes a book home one day, and returns it to school the next day whether or not that book was read. That way, we can still use the book at school if we need to. The child can always take the same book home another day. I suggest you treat the home reading like the planner in that you store it in the backpack. That way it won't get lost.
Sending the material back and forth each day is especially important for those who bring home a duotang. We use the duotan in class daily and if your child leaves the duotang at home, he or she will miss important aspects of the next day's reading lesson.
