I had a great week, meeting with all of you for conferences. I loved getting to know you and having the opportunity to share some of the things that we’ve been doing here at school. If at any time you have additional questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
Language Arts: As we get ready for Thanksgiving, we discussed different things that we are all thankful for and typed up our top ten lists in the computer lab. I also hope that you enjoyed the letters that the children wrote to you. I know that they put a lot of thought and effort into what they wanted to say.
Math: Our new concepts we’ve been learning are multiplication facts starting with 0’s, 1’s, and 2’s and division. We will be starting multiplication testing next week so flashcards are a great addition to the daily homework routine.
Science: We have just started our “Earth and Me” unit. We started out doing a rock hunt. The kids found some unique and very interesting rocks. We then looked at the many different characteristics of our rocks and wrote a descriptive paragraph. After looking closely at our rocks we also brainstormed a list of many questions that we have about rocks. If your child has any interesting rocks that they would like to bring in and share, feel free to send them in!
Social Studies: We are learning about mapping skills and the geography of Michigan. We are also learning about the very interesting history of Michigan before statehood.
Spelling: Since we only have two days…no spelling next week!
Dates to remember:
November 25th, 26th, and 27th, No school.
December 4th: The Holiday concert at RHS Auditorium.
December 19th: Holiday celebration
December 20th: Last day of school before the Holiday Break.
Please feel free to contact me at any time with questions, comments, or concerns. The next weekly report will be coming home December 4th due to next week being a short week.
