ANNOUNCEMENTS AND REMINDERS:
Remember to send in your child's homework packet on TUESDAY! It shows me how they practiced at home and allows me see any of your feedback.
Next week is Thanksgiving Break! No school!
Remember to send in a healthy snack for your child each day! That snack helps keep their brains fueled and energized for the rest of the day.
Here are the things you can practice with your child on IXL:
Graphing: R. 2-7
Facts: L. 1-5, E. 1-12
Time: Q. 2-5, 7-10
Geometry: T. 1-3
Fractions: U. 1-5
Odd and Even: A. 6, 7
Unfortunately, there is nothing on IXL to help with Arrays.
Classroom Wishlist: Playdoh and index cards! If you are willing and able to donate any of these materials to the classroom, it would be greatly appreciated!
This week in...
Phonics: We are practicing the long /i/ sound with the spelling patterns: i, igh, ie, and y. We practiced sounding out, spelling, and sorting the following words: sight, high, light, mind, wild, tie, lie, cry, dry, try.
Vocabulary: Our new vocabulary words are: peered, giggled, snuggled, fluttered, vanished, and recognized. We figured out what these words meant and built connections to them. Then, we searched for these words while we read the story Leo Grows Up by Kevin Lee.
Comprehension: We are working on generating questions and making inferences. Good readers are always generating questions about a story to help them understand a story better. We'll be asking questions about the characters, problem, or what might happen next. We're also going to be practicing how to make inferences. The answers to some questions won't always be in the text so we'll have to use what we read and what we already know to make an inference.
Writing: We'll be discussing the steps of how to write a how to story! We'll be practicing using transitions words and making our ideas clear so that any reader will be able to do whatever we're telling them to do! This week, we'll be writing a story about how to catch a turkey!
Grammar: We'll be working on possessive nouns. A possessive noun shows who or what has something. We'll be talking about how to add an apostrophe and an s to a singular noun to show possession.
Math: This week, we'll be diving right into odd and even and arrays. These two standards are combined to making the following checklist. In order for your child to meet these standards, they must show:
1. I know that even numbers can be made into groups of two (partners) or two equal groups (teams).
2. I know that odd numbers cannot be made into groups of two (partners) or two equal groups (teams).
3. I can write a doubles number sentence to represent an even number and a near doubles number sentence to represent an odd number.
4. I can add the same name repeatedly to find out the total number of squares in an array.
5. I can write an equation that shows the total number of squares.
This week, we'll be doing mini lessons to help students with each part of this checklist. Students will be working on their own individual goals by practicing a choice from our menu. When they feel like they are ready to meet the standard, they will present their evidence to me and complete a check-in. If their evidence and check-in are correct, they will move onto the next goal within these standards.
Science: This week, I will be beginning some weather related read alouds. These will serve as an introduction to our year long science goals that focus on air and weather.
