Alberto is Munchkin of the Week.  He brought three stuffed puppies for his favorite things. We read a book called Roses are Pink Your  Feet Realy Stink. It was very funny. Then we made a Valentines Day coupons for our parents. When it was time for P.E. we went outside on the track and did the running program! We are looking forward to our Valentines Day PARTY in 7 days! We had a long day and it was fun /  but we were happy to go home!

Today we  read several books .  We did adding and subtracting.  We had to figure out which one to do using clue words like how many more or in all.  We read Babushka’s Doll  and started a story about one of our toys coming to life!

What an exciting day we had today!  We rotated through all the teachers for a day of Thanksgiving fun in each subject.  In Saccoccio’s Sensational Science class, we learned about Sir Isaac Newton and his Laws of Inertia.  We performed many experiments that hopefully the kids will go home and share with their families for thanksgiving.

WOW…Is it November already????  In reading, we have begun a study of Doreen Cronin books and will continue that into next week.  We are working on skills such as fact and opinion, sequencing, and main ideas.  In math, we are continuing to work on adding with regrouping.  We will have our test over this next week.  In writing, we have been working on how-to papers.  We will start working on writing persuasive papers next.  In science, we are learning about the states of matter.

X-tra Math

Parents – Don’t forget that Xtra Math is a great site to increase your child’s math fluency.  Helping your child to really master their math facts whether with this site, with flashcards, or with some other means will help them soar in math.

During word work this week we are continuing to work on blends.  We are focusing this week more on final blends like the mp in lump or the nt in cent.  In writing/grammar we are learning about past tense verbs and continuing to make sure that our stories are focused.  We have learned that webbing our ideas is a great way to improve the focus in our stories.  In math, we are working on order and comparing numbers.  During reading, we are working on inferencing.  This week in Social Studies we are studying our country’s national symbols.  So far we have learned about the flag and the bald eagle.    Parents…don’t forget that Monday is a holiday.
