I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving last week! We had a small celebration on Tuesday for our
fabulous student teacher Mrs. Burger.
She did an amazing job with the children and we will miss her tremendously!
Language Arts:
We are finishing our narrative writing this week and moving on to
persuasive writing next. I always love
hearing how they try to change someone’s thoughts and ideas. For our read aloud we are currently reading “Trader’s
In Time”. It is a story about two
brothers in Grand Haven that get lost in the woods and realize it is over 300
years ago! They experience many
adventures together and try to figure out how to survive but also how to try to
make it back to their family.
Math: We are
finished with unit 4 and moving into unit 5 next which includes practice with
place value, creating pictographs, practice with perimeters, and decimals. We also start every math lesson with practicing
our multiplication math facts. The
children are working very hard and I see them all improving every day! Over the break I sent home a small packet of
math practice. This is optional work and
is not required but I know many of you asked for extra practice pages at home.
Social Studies:
We are continuing to learn about the geography of Michigan. Soon we will be making salt dough maps! J
We are back to our normal routine but have many fun and
exciting things coming in the month of December.
