Thanksgiving….already? I hope you are getting ready to enjoy thankful times with friends and family. We are trying out a new tradition in room 121, Sharing Soup. Each student was given an ingredient to bring no later than TUESDAY, Nov. 19. :)
The Book Fair will continue through Thursday, Nov. 21. If you send $$ please make sure it is labeled and sealed in a baggie or envelope.
REMEMBER THERE IS NO SCHOOL THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER 25TH. I WISH EVERYONE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING FRESH FACES ON DECEMBER 2ND.
Reading Unit 1 Week 6 ~ The phonics focus will be the short /u/ vowel sound like in “umbrella” and final consonant blends: first and stick. Please make sure you are listening to your child read the sentences and words in their take home folder each night. I cannot stress to you how important this is put “miles on their tongues.”
Genre ~ Literary Nonfiction Story ~ Animal Park
Comprehension ~ Character, plot, setting, main idea/supporting details, and cause/effect.
Amazing Words ~ desert, forest, world, chatter, silent, snort, medicine and poisonous.
Word Wall Words ~ home, into, them, many
Spelling Words can be found in your child’s take home folder {Week 6} A new list will come home when they return in December.
Language ~ We will continue reviewing nouns, verbs, adjectives, complete sentences, subjects/predicates of a sentence, declarative {statements} and interrogative {questions} sentences. This week they will be introduced to an exclamatory sentence which has an exclamation point at the end: I cannot wait until we get out for Thanksgiving!
Math ~ We will not take a formal math test for Ch. 5. I have picked out the important skills {related facts and fact families} to focus on so I will take a major grade using those skills only.
Have a great week! Please contact me with any questions or concerns. ~ Kristin
