Curriculum Overview
STEAM Project - Students have been interviewing and photographing the adults at STEAM.  Ask your kids about Mr. Broom , Ms. Burke, Sr. Steuer, and Mrs. Layla.  After each interview we create posters.  I will post some photos of them next week.  Our overall goal is for students to learn about all the people at STEAM and demonstrate how to create a safe, respectful, and responsible school community.

Reading - This week students will be identifying the characters and setting of fiction books.  Ask your students about Big Al, Tikki Tikki Tembo, The Snowy Day, and Library Lion.

Writing - Students have been practicing the steps necessary to capture and communicate their experiences using drawing and writing.  They will also write about the adults at STEAM for our current project.

Math - This week we will looking at different ways to sort and classify objects.  Ask your student about the shoe sort we did today.

Word Study - This week we practice hearing and counting syllables in words.

Be on the lookout for these.
