Thanksgiving break went by too fast! Can you believe we have 14 school days until Winter break?!

This week:

Phonics: We are going to do a big review and see what we still remember after our Turkey break.

Comprehension: We will be looking at finding the main idea of non-fiction text. Sometimes it can be very obvious what the main idea is but we want them to become confident in this skill. As they get older non-fiction text can get hard to understand. A great resource for this is readworks.org.

Math: We will be looking at how a number line could help us in addition and subtraction this week. It is a great tool that often times gets over looked. I am excited to see how our students take to it.

Science: We are finishing up sound and will be moving to light. Before break we came up with an awesome game. It is the smallest sound wave game. It is basically the quiet game. We would do activities be see who would make no sound waves or the smallest sound waves. It works like magic if you need a quiet moment!

Holidays: A lot of holidays are coming our way soon! This is a quick reminder that each family has their own traditions and ways of celebrating. A hot topic for the next three weeks will be Santa and Elves. Some kids are very passionate about this while others are not. Please just have a quick check in with your kids about how different people have different opinions and traditions. Thank you!
