    Weekly Highlights

    Science (Health)
    Students learned that
    nutrition can keep their
    bodies and minds
    healthy! They explored
    My Plate, a plate
    graphic that promotes
    healthy portions of
    grains, vegetables, fruits,
    protein, and dairy. They
    sorted foods into healthy
    and junky categories
    and created a healthy
    meal that included all
    the food groups. They
    enjoyed listening to
    Gregory the Terrible
    Eater by Mitchell
    Sharmat, a fiction book
    about healthy eating.

    We also discussed the
    many ways that we can
    be safe (a school-wide
    rule) at home and at
    school. Students
    created a class book to
    demonstrate safe
    choices they make.

    Students compared
    the attributes of regular

    shapes through hands-
    on activities and
    literature. They
    explored and used
    geoboards to create
    regular and irregular
    shapes. They also
    listened to the book

    by Marilyn Burns.

    (continued)
    In addition, students
    played a class game
    called Guess My Rule to
    help them identify
    defining plane shape
    attributes.
    Reading/Writing

    Students learned
    that a strategy for
    decoding unknown
    words is to look at the
    picture for clues. In
    addition, they learned
    that using their fingers
    to point to each word
    is a strategy for
    tracking their place.
    They practiced this skill
    during independent
    reading time. Students
    worked on N and M for
    handwriting
