Next Week:

Language Arts

We are cracking open those brand new books! As a class we will be reading a loud “Owl at Home”.  A classic that the kids LOVE!  We will be working on fluency and comprehension.  As your child about the adventures of Owl.  

Math

WOOHOO! We are finally wrapped up with Module 1 while adding and subtracting within 10.  Module 2 starts with adding 3 numbers and finding pairs within the three digits to make 10.  The concepts are going to become slightly more challenging.  Any time at home with homework is helpful! Practice makes perfect!

Science

Ms. Shaw started with the heart and will be moving onto the lungs.  She is creating a hands on human body on a bag as she introduces various functions of the body. They will look awesome!

Social Studies

The start of week will be our Egypt wrap up.  I will be assessing the kids on their Egyptian knowledge as well as checking their Egypt folders for completed classwork.  The second half of the week will contain introductions to the first Thanksgiving.   Our new unit is just around the corner and so is Thanksgiving!

I absolutely LOVE our buddy up activities. Today the students created portraits of their buddies while using their very best masterpiece skills.  Here are a few snap shots!

Enjoy the weekend!
