ASK ME ABOUTS: 

Ask me about...

• similes. We discussed that similes are comparisons that use "like" or "as" when comparing the objects. Have your child share some of their similes with you and create some similes together.  
• my new learning about Ghana. What did I learn about Accra? How do they fish in Accra? What is special about caskets built in Ghana?
• our plants. What is happening with the plants in the light box, window and in the dark?
• how to count up when making change. Practice this at home!
• my inner coach...When do I use my inner coach and how can my inner coach help me? 

LOOKING FORWARD:

Looking forward, we will:

• continue reading and writing poems.  
• finish working in unit 15 in fundations, focusing on the vowel teams oo, ou, ue and ew.
• finish publishing our opinions.
• continue observing our plants.
• compare activities and events in a Ghanaian child's life to my life
• continue working with place value in math.

Have a great weekend!
