Upcoming Star of the Week: Robbie (November 14th)
Math: We are nearing completion of our fourth unit, Addition and
Subtraction Facts to 12. We spent most
of the week thinking about the relationship between addition and subtraction,
with a focus on doubles. We are using
both ten frames and manipulatives to highlight this relationship. Our assessment will be at the end of next
week.
Take a look at the blog posts below to
learn about our Halloween math fun this week!
Phonics: We are continuing work in our fourth unit which
focuses on the bonus letter spelling rule and the glued sound “all” for reading
and spelling like the word ball. We are also adding the trick words you, your,
I, they, was, one and said.
Religion: We are following the works of
Jesus. This week students finished their
study of Jesus and the Holy family as role models.
Science: This week we did a fun pumpkin science and math
enrichment. Students were asked to
measure, estimate, and study pumpkins for different properties. In the next few weeks we will begin a larger
science unit, Pebbles, Sand and Silt.
Have a great weekend!
