Week of November 4

Is anyone else shocked that it's already November?!? We can't believe it and soon it'll be Progress Report Time... the school year is flying by with our Smarties!

This week we have a few reminders: Monday is Spirit Night at McDonald's from 4-7, Wednesday our class visits the Book Fair from 9-9:30 (Come in and help your child shop- must be an Approved School Board Volunteer).Friday is the last day of the Book Fair and Spirit Wear Sale. 

Then we don't want anyone to forget... Monday, November 11 there is No School. :) 

Friday our Activity is 80's Day!! We are hoping to see lots of neon clothes and side pony tails with scrunchies. Edward will be bringing in Fun Friday Snacks for the class. 

SKILLS

We are honing in on beginning sounds of words and rhyming pairs. We are using the -ay video to practice real -ay rhyming words. Also, my hope is to start testing the students on both skills this week. We're reviewing the following letter sounds and making sure the students don't add the "uhhhh": B, D, M, P, W and Z.

Our Sight Words for the week are: have, make, be, up.

READING

We are focusing on the story The Red Eyed Tree Frog. We will be discussing the vocabulary, charting facts that we learn from the story and then completing a story map. :) 

WRITING

Our Writing will continue to focus on the set up of a sentence. Along with using our Word Wall to find the correct spelling of Sight Words that have been taught in class.

MATH

Last week we got a little bit behind schedule so we will be finishing up our Shapes unit early this week. We'll start a new unit on Measurement later this week. We will learning about length and how to measure items. We continue to practice counting everyday, and we hope you and your child are practicing at home too! Below you'll find a video that we'll be using to practice our counting to 100.

SCIENCE
This week in science we will be learning about physical properties including size, weight, pattern, shape, shine, texture, and color.
