Hello!! Just a quick reminder before you read anything else, THERE IS NO SCHOOL THURSDAY AND FRIDAY OF NEXT WEEK!!!!! I will remind you again at the end, but wanted to be sure you saw this. Here is what we have been up to this week:
Reading:
We have been working this week on the short /o/ sound. We read a story called Dot and Bob. Our spelling words were also the short /o/ words. We also worked on telling sentences and characters. We learned why characters are so important to stories, and we shared many of our favorite characters from books and movies. We learned about story structure too, and continued talking about begninning, middle and end.
Flex Reading:
Be sure to keep reading those flex books each night and practicing your words. The logs need to come back signed in order to receive credit for reading.
Math:
We are addition masters! I can't believe how far these kids have come in a few weeks with addition. We took our first test, that will be shared with you at conferences. We have now moved on to SUBTRACTION!!! It is going great! Friday, we even got to practice subtraction with candy pumpkins!
Writing:
We have been working hard this week on making an Autumn Book. We've done some fun science experiments, leaf walks, and lots of writing to go along with it. We will still be working on this next week. I am anxious to share this work with you at conferences!
Other:
