Hello families!
We have an exciting week coming up in Room 105!
In reading this week we will read the book I Need My Monster! We will read this story throughout the week and focus on retelling the events of the story in order including beginning, middle, ending with details. We will focus on new vocabulary words and character traits. We will use the book for a thinking routine on Friday.
In writing, we have completed our first unit of writing, "small moments" or personal narratives. We have been working on publishing by first revising and adding juicy words, details, etc. Next we worked on editing with an editing checklists. We focused on using ending punctuation, using a capital letter for I and to start a sentence, for names and places. We are planning a date with Kindergarten buddies to share our writing soon!
Word study this week will be on long u with the CVCE pattern. We will continue to discuss how silent e helps the vowel say it's name.
In math this week we are working on learning strategies for addition and subtraction. We practiced using the turn around rule and discussed why it does not work for subtraction. We will learn how to make a "name collection box" and play a game called "Name that Number." We will use a number line to solve story problems for addition and subtraction.
In social studies, we have reached the end of the unit 1 on Communities. We will have a unit test on Tuesday, Oct. 29th. We will be starting Science on Thursday, Nov. 1st. Our first unit of Science will cover Air and Weather. We will begin by doing a thinking routine called "See, Think and Wonder" when observing pictures of the wind. Our first science lessons this week will be about noticing air all around us, reviewing the states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) and noticing how air moves things.
We have the Halloween party and parade on Wednesday, October 31st. We will begin getting into costumes around 10:15 a.m. Your child should not wear their costume to school. He or she should have his or her costume in a bag or in their backpack. We will go outside for the parade at 10:30. After the parade we will return to the room to have cookies and juice. We will play Halloween "Jingo" with prizes!
Students will need to change out of costumes to ride the bus home. If you have signed up to help on October 31st, please be sure to send in any items you have agreed to bring by 10:30.
As a reminder it is the school districts policy that there are no fake weapons allowed in school, so please leave them at home if your child's costume includes a fake weapon (ie, sword, dart gun, knife, etc.).
Have a wonderfully spooky week!
Mrs. Scheck
