Nov. 8th

Hello families!

Tis the season of sniffles and stomach bugs. Please email me if you are keeping your child home due to sickness. I can then relay it our autoimmune compromised family! We want to keep everyone healthy!

Phonics: We are moving into trigraphs. Trigraphs are three letters that make one sound. They are -tch and -dge. The usually come at the ends of words like fudge or itch. We will also be reviewing digraphs (ch, sh, ck, th, and wh).

Comprehension: Next week we will be looking at the difference between facts and opinion. Facts can be proven and opinions what we think or feel. This is a fun thing to teach because they start to be aware that some people have different opinions than them.

Math: We will be working on place value. We will be looking teen number and looking a tens (10, 20, 30, etc). This should help students with their number sense. Like always we will also be working on addition and subtraction.

  • Math homework is coming home today (43 and 44), this will be due to Monday.
  • Math homework will come home on Tuesday (45 and 46) and will due on Wednesday.
  • I will NOT send  math homework next Friday.

Science: We will be working on our sound and light unit. We have exploring different drums and how their sounds are different.

Moral Focus: This month's focus is gratitude. I gave our kids a challenge of showing gratitude towards others. Please continue this challenge at home!

Thanksgiving Party:
Thanksgiving Party sign up
Our Thanksgiving Party will be on 11/22 from 2-3pm. We will have a variety of fall centers. Students will travel around to the fun centers. Families are invited to join us from 2-3pm. Activities are for our classroom students. Volunteers need to be here at 1:45pm. If you sign up to bring supplies please drop them off by the morning of 11/22 or SOONER.
If you would like to bring a snack to share with the whole class please individually wrap them (28 students)! We will not have a designated time to share the treats and this will allow us to easily take them home.
I am also in the hunt for fall prizes for our party! Send them in if you have some! Thank you for helping us make this season AWESOME.
