We have
our first 25 word wall words all introduced in our classroom. Some students have already passed these
and are working on challenge words.
Keep up all the hard work on these words. We are working on the last half of our words now. Please practice these papers as they
come home!
Math:
We just began our new unit on
measurement. This unit is a lot of
fun because we are able to do a lot of hands on activities. We started out comparing sizes, then
moved to actual measurements of different objects. We found them all around the room and would measure them
using cubes, paper clips, and a worm tape measure. Ask your child about all the fun we are having in math!
Social
Studies/Health:
We have
spent the last week and a half continuing our discussion with the first
Thanksgiving but we have also thrown in a twist of discussing healthy
foods. We created a list of the
foods we believed were at the first Thanksgiving and then foods we eat
now. We discussed which were
healthy or not healthy. We even
did a sort of the foods. Finally
we drew our plate at Thanksgiving to see how much of each food group we were
getting. It was a lot of fun!
Writing:
WOW!! We have been busy writing up a storm
this past week and a half. We have
really been working on what makes a sentence. We discussed how you need a “who” and a “what”. These parts are important so people can
understand what you write. So
please practice this at home to see how well we are doing!
Helpful
Hints:
Have your child count to you and see how far they can count. Have your child spell some two and three letter words. Please continue to read the take home books and return when
done.
