Happy week before Thanksgiving. Our last full week before the break. As always we are going to pack in as much as we can during the next five days. Here's the scoop...
Math: We are going to finally wrap up Module One with relating subtraction facts from 10 and 9 to corresponding decompositions (ex: 10-2=8 so 10-8=2), and looking at the addition facts to solve subtraction and relate addition and subtraction facts.
Language Arts: Our Hartcourt story for the week will be "Fun with Fish." Poor Hasel and Gretel, we had so much to do last week we simply did not have enough time to get to them again. We will find time for them at some point this year. Instead last week I decided to begin our "Frog and Toad Are Friends" stories, and the on to "Frog and Toad All Year." We are focusing on comprehension with these stories, and building reading skills.
Science: We will be putting the final organs on our body bags and labeling them to test what we have learned, wrapping up our unit on the human body.
Social Studies: The students will also be wrapping up their unit on Thanksgiving as they end their story with Jack and Annie in Plymouth. They will be finishing their work in their Thanksgiving workbooks, and will probably have a comprehension exam to follow.
Extra Scoop:
Parent University: Parent University is this Wednesday, November 15th. Again, I would really love to see every family in attendance Wednesday night. We will be reviewing reading and math data and talking about what we can do to partner to help your child reach our end of the year goals. Don't forget we will be meeting at 5 in the gym for dinner, with the 1st grade break out session beginning at 5:35. It would be awesome to see every family there!
No homework until Tuesday! It will still be due on Friday.
