Happy Thanksgiving!

This week with there only being two days of school, there was not a poem or a spelling list. Next week, we will add to the amount of homework your child will receive.

Starting next week, the first week of December. Your child will be bring home their poem (still needs to read it to someone 5 times and have them sign the back), their spelling practice page (still needs to write each word 3 times), and now they will have a series of math problems to complete each night. All three homework assignments will be due on Friday.

Math- In math Ms. Wild read the book Each Orange Has 8 Slices and completed a worksheet to follow the book. On the worksheet, students created their own multiplication story problems.


Reading- This week Ms. Wild worked on comprehension packet with the students. They worked really hard to locate and highlight information in the text to use to answer their questions about traditions.

Writing- This week Ms. Wild completed a series of activity sheets, students continued to work on their "Roll a Dice" story and wrote a how-to piece of writing titled "How to Cook a Turkey."


Science- This week the students continued to work on chromatography. The students were able to create their own inventions. Many wanted to take these home. Some opted to leave them here and create snowflakes to decorate our classroom.
