I look forward to seeing all of you at conferences this week! Please let me know if you are unable to attend your child’s conference and we will reschedule at your convenience.
Spelling: This week we are studying words that have the short and long i sound. Just a heads up that we will have no spelling the week of Thanksgiving.
Language Arts: Friday we will be finishing our read aloud book “Because of Winn-Dixie”. As a culminating activity we will watch the movie and compare it to the book this Friday. If you have any objections to your child seeing the movie, please let me know. We also have been learning different strategies for writing during our writing workshop. Our strategies include writing about a person and telling about a specific memory with that person and also writing about a place and telling about a specific memory with that place. I’m trying to get the children to give more details and try to write more in depth.
Math: We are now in unit 3. The children are doing a tremendous amount of measuring, figuring of perimeter and area, and more practice with money.
Social Studies: We continue learning different facts about our Michigan history. We also had a wonderful time listening to the author of “Sooper Yooper”, Mark Neuman. He discussed the many invasive species that have come to Michigan over the years and how we need to work hard to protect our state and great lakes!
Computer Lab: We enjoyed making our top ten lists of why we are thankful. I know that I’m very thankful for my wonderful students and families!
