Here's our learning for the week:
Reading We will continue to focus on non-fiction text features and finding evidence that supports reasons in readers’ workshop. In phonics, the focus is on possessives and the use of apostrophes. Starting this month, I’ll be sending a monthly activities double-sided sheet home that has writing activities on one side and other skills on the back. This is totally an optional activity to be completed at home! Please do not send it back to school. For the November Writing Calendar, feel free to use the calendar as ideas to have your child write a little bit over the Thanksgiving break, if you would like them to! Writing We are working on a scientific lab report to be completed over the course of 2 weeks. It will include a STEM experiment to see if a race car will go farther on the rug or the bare floor. We are working on the scientific question, hypothesis, materials, etc. this week, and will conduct the actual experiment and collect data next week. Math I have introduced 2-digit subtraction with regrouping and will continue the same this week in guided math groups. I’ll also revisit the concept of addition with regrouping for some of the students that are struggling a little with it. Social Studies We are continuing to learn about Native American heroes. Our focus this week is Mary Musgrove. Students are learning to answer questions about the historical figures by reading a chapter a day. A huge 'thank you' to Mrs. Bell for chaperoning the Chattahoochee field trip and for baking delectable cookies for the entire class!
