A Week to Celebrate!

Here we are making ghost, pumpkin & Frankenstein slime!

This is such a fun time of year!  Thank you to all of you for supporting our fun on Halloween this week.

Friday we celebrated National Author's Day with our narrative writing celebration!  Here we are reading our stories:

 

  

   

 

We learned about six different patterns in leaves and what types of animals use leaves for food based on the observable patterns with our Hands-On Nature teachers: Mrs. Knoth and Mrs. Almassalkhi!

We completed our read aloud titled The Elevator Family.  

We spend about 30 minutes during the week on a program called Typing Quest.  This program helps us to become strong, accurate, efficient typists.  This skill will assist in all areas of composition as well as research to begin the list.  

Our math focus is about adding 10's and 1's to any number.  We are moving around the hundred chart as well as an open number line to problem solve.  We taught the break apart strategy and how to use landmark numbers when adding two and single digit numbers.  

Ask your child about their word study skill each week & the title(s) of books they enjoy reading at school.  

Please send back the green note about conferences.  If you prefer a time outside of those listed, please let me know.  

Thank you!
