Message from Mrs. A

 

·    Remember to look through your child's homework folder every night. There will be homework every week night.

·    There will be a half-day on Wednesday, November 25. There will be no school on Thursday and Friday, November 26-27.

 

Reading

We read the poem Bugs today. We read the poem as a class and with our partners. Then we found our sight words in the poem. We drew a picture of how bugs make us feel and wrote two sentences about our picture using our sight words.

We also read our class book, Black Bat, Black Bat, What Do You See? Each night, one student will bring the book home to read to their families. Please sign the sheet on top of the book and tell us what you liked about the book. Return the book the next day.

For homework, read with your child for 15 minutes every night. Reading together builds confidence and fluency. Reading together is fun!

Spelling and Phonics

We had our spelling test today.

Writing and Grammar

When you write at home or for homework, remember that inventive spelling is ok for words that you don't know. Try and remember to use spaces between words, capital letters, and punctuation.

Math

We continued to use calculators today. We used them to complete our own frames and arrows. We also got to play Penny-Nickel Exchange with our partners.

 

Science and Social Studies

 

We will be learning about animals that hibernate. Today, we made a list of animals that hibernate and picked one animal to write a story about. Stuffed animals for the Hibernation Box should be sent to school by Friday.

 

We are learning about Thanksgiving. We will be reading fiction, non-fiction and poetry selections as we learn about the history of the holiday and how we celebrate at home.
