Busy, Busy, Little Monsters!
Thank you to all our helpers last week at our Halloween Fall Party. The kiddos enjoyed themselves and fun was had by all.
We do have our first Character Trait Award Assembly of the year tomorrow at 2 pm. for September Raelyn Conard won for Responsibility and for October Hailer McKnight won for Courage.
This week in class we will have the following Learning Target Skills;
In Reading, we will read Jamaica Tag-Along and work with self-monitoring ourselves as we read. This is where we stop and ask ourselves questions to check for understanding. We will work with text to self-connections. We will work with long i sound patterns and with the following vocabulary; eavesdrop(per), accompany, and annoy.
In Writing, we will read Miss Tizzy and we will look at how we can get ideas from all the things that we like to do with our friends. We have TONS of stories to tell others orally about what we have done with our friends but now let's write about it! We will look at what's called approximate spelling. We will continue to look at how we can add sight and sounds words for better visuals and then go into listening to others share their own writing.
In Social Studies, we will continue to learn about Native Americans. We start out with all the amazing things they used the buffalo for in their life. We will read about what Native Americans did for fun and games. Then we will look at how they communicated through symbols and told stories.
Finally, in Math, we will complete our small-unit on single digit addition and subtraction. Then we go into reviewing skip counting by 2,5, and 10. We will then look at problem-solving through finding a pattern.
