Dear families,
This is a short week of school due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
In reading this week we will read The Story of the Pilgrims and learn a little about the first thanksgiving! We will also read the book A Turkey for Thanksgiving by Eve Bunting. We will read the story and write a prediction about what will happen to the turkey in the story. We will write about the setting, characters and tell the beginning, middle and ending.
In writing this week we will continue to write Lab Reports to go with our science experiments on compressed air. We have learned about air resistance and how air moves things. We will observe how air moves water inside of a syringe today! We will write our question, hypothesis, procedure and results today and tomorrow.
We will write about what we are grateful for on a cornucopia!
In math, we learned how to play the game Salute! We used our number cards to place two cards on our heads, the partners see the number of the other child but not their own. The dealer calls out the sum, then the players try to find the missing addend. Practice is needed on fact recall. If your child does not know their addition facts, please do some extra practice at home either with flash cards or on the i-ready.com site.
For phonics this week we will be continuing to work on contractions. Many students need more practice and support on making contractions.
On Wednesday, Mrs. Nishio will be teaching the students how to make shapes out of paper using the Japanese paper folding technique called Origami! The students are looking forward to it!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Mrs. Scheck
