Happy (almost) three day weekend to you! Harper has her first dance class this weekend so we have been prepping all week, wish us luck!
Thank you for taking the time to fill out our latest homework survey. We value your opinions and appreciate all the feedback. We met as a team to discuss the results and although there will be no major changes at this time we will consider your feedback as we progress through the school year.
Congratulations to our October virtue award winner, Jed. Way to be a model of honesty to your peers!
Here's a look at how we will spend our week when we come back on to school on Tuesday:
Spalding: Last week we learned the Er’s (er, ir, ur, wor, ear). In order to tell these phonograms apart we use our cues and this sentence “Her first nurse works early.” We will spend this week reviewing the er’s.
Sight Words: We will introduce list 5, that brings us to 50 sight words! The words are: an, each, which, she, do, how, there, if, use, their
Literature: We will explore King Midas and the Golden Touch in Literature this week. We will read the story and discuss the characters, setting, and plot. It’s a good idea to ask these questions of your child while reading their books at home, too. We will discuss the consequences of being greedy by comparing King Midas and the book “The Magic Fish.” Old King Cole will be our poem.
Math:We will continue our unit on size. We will be measuring items, using vocabulary like “bigger, smaller, longer, shorter”. On Friday, we will have an assessment on length and size.
History: This week we will introduce the kiddos to the Wright Brothers and how they contributed to history and science. Each child will get to make their own paper airplane and see how far it can fly. We will discuss the virtue of perseverance and how the two brothers practiced this virtue during their lifetimes. Later in the week, we will begin a unit that will lead up to the First Thanksgiving. Students will learn about Christopher Columbus and his travels.
Thank you Wannlund family for coming in to celebrate Emma's birthday!
And here's a peak into our classroom from this week.
