ELL News 10-1-15 Kindergarten We are working on reading and creating books that use positional words: above, below, under, over, around, past, etc. Last week we completed a book titled, Rosie's Walk. This week we are reading a Pete the Cat book. Please ask your student to share their book with you. They are so proud of their work! First grade We are studying families and the different jobs and responsibilities each person has at home. Each student created their own "family" book, also. They will be going home this week-please ask your student to read it with you. Fifth grade Second grade/Third grade The second graders are studying the concept of community. They have read a variety of text and created a learning notebook with vocabulary words and related activities. I know your student will be excited to show it to you at Open House. The learning notebook will be a resource they can keep at the end of the year. The third graders are studying the beginning of our country: The Thirteen Colonies. They have also created a learning notebook and will continue to add to it as the year continues. The fifth grade students are studying the solar system and are working on comparing and contrasting two planets. They have just begun the research phase of this project. They love working with the technology available to them! Any questions regarding your students? Please contact me at carol.suppes@lz95.org or at 847-719-3521 www.c raftyteacher-devyn.blogspot.com
