Week 12 Updates

Happy November and week 12 of FRL. Thank you to all the families who picked up materials on Friday. It was so good to see so many faces, kids and adults. For sure the highlight of my week. Here is what we will be learning this week in school:

Math: We will be finishing subtraction word problems this week, with an assessment on Wednesday. Then we will begin working on decomposition strategies for subtraction. 

ELA:  We will wrap up our Lit Study on Mummies in the Morning this Week. We will also begin a new unit in NatGeo, focusing on Goods and Services and Needs and Wants. This weeks spelling sounds are blends and triple blends s words. Our spelling focus each week is definitely increasing in difficulty. Please make sure they are writing their words each day and doing some kind of word work at least twice a week to practice them. This can be writing them on a wipe off board, spelling them in their notebooks, writing them in shaving cream on the counter or in a salt tray, with their playdough, etc....as long as they are getting some extra practice a few times a week. 

Science:  We will finish Mummifying our Apple this week, taking a look at what our apple in our natron mix looks like and recording our data towards the end of the week. 

Show and Tell: This weeks theme is bring or wear your favorite shirt. 

Fundraiser:  Thank you to all the families that helped us sell discount cards and raise funds for Marshall school. We sold 723 discount cards. You all rocked it! Our very own Cohen even took home the electric scooter, selling the most cards out of the whole school. He picked up his scooter this Friday, and figured out how to zoom around in not time. Nice job Cohen!
