This week:

If you still have pizza coupons at home the money is due on Nov 30th. 

Wednesday we will be celebrating Dr Seuss and having a Green Eggs and Ham day!  We will join Kindergarten for fun activities and experiments (please check email for supplies needed).

Math - We are continuing our exploration of place value.  The students had a great time taking inventory last week and counting everything they could get their hands on :)  This week we will be using that information to explore 10's 5's and 1's and how our number system works together.

Language - I am so proud of our class, I have seen a marked improvement in their reading.  Keep practicing at home and having your child re-tell what they have read.

Spelling - new list went home Friday

Scripture - Due in 2 weeks

Nov 14-18

We had a great day at the zoo yesterday!  We are excited to begin our second quarter. 😊

This week:

Math - We are going to be taking the next 2 weeks and doing an in depth investigation with organizing and collecting.  Some of the "Big Ideas" that we will be exploring/developing are: equivalence, place determines value, patterns occur when making and adding on groups of 10. We will be doing several "investigations" like this throughout the year. I'm excited to have the students exploring math in a new meaningful way.

 Language - We are continuing on with our phonics and reading strategies

Writers Workshop - We are beginning a unit on Narrative writing - get reading for some amazing stories!

Spelling - Check out Spelling city for practice.
