A little yoga before Thanksgiving Break!
Gifts for Kids
Before the Thanksgiving break, your child came home with information about donating to the Gifts for Kids program! If you are interested in having your child pick an ornament from the tree kindly send a note in with your child or send me an email so that I know that they have your permission to do so! Thank you so much!
Literacy
In Literacy this week we will be reading the story, Turtle’s Race with Beaver by Joseph Bruchac and James Bruchac. Through reading this story we will continue to discuss the unit question, “How can we work together?” We will also discuss the weekly question, “When does sharing make sense?” This week we will be reviewing the genre of Folk Tale, reading and writing words that have er, ir, ur, practicing the skill of sequencing and applying the comprehension strategy of summarizing.
The children had so much fun this week exploring persuasive writing by pretending that they were a turkey who had to convince a chief not to eat them for Thanksgiving! :)
Writing
This week in writing we continued to talk about the use of specific details! To practice this we created our very own animal riddles! We then read our work to the class to see if they could guess what creature we were describing!
Math
This week in math we will continue to explore mental addition strategies by adding tens and ones, adding on a hundred chart, adding multiples of 10 and looking for a pattern to problem solve!
