Happy Weekend! Only two weeks left. Here is what is happening the rest of the semester in our class and at Marshall:
Math: This week we will wrap up sums and differences within 100.
ELA: Last week we learned about multiple meaning words. We will finish verbs to wrap up the semester. In phonics we are continuing with unpredictable vowels teams (since last update we have done ow and ea, this week we will focus on oo). Next week will will do a story series on comparing and contrasting different gingerbread stories. At some point we will be building our own gingerbread houses. We will have a sign up for supplies needed and volunteers to help, so be on the look out for that!
Science: We will wrap up our unit on solids and liquids this week.
Social Studies: We are going to spend the next two weeks learning about different holidays celebrated at this time of year. We will learn about Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, St. Lucia, and Las Posada's. We will learn who celebrates these holidays, how the holiday began and why, what are some of the traditions associated with each holiday, etc... With each holiday we will have a craft, or some kind of food to help us understand the holiday better. When we learn about Hanukkah we will make latkes. This will take place the last Friday before break. I will be sending out a list for supplies and volunteers for this as well.
