November 11-15

Thank you to everyone who made it to parent/ teacher conferences! It was great to get to talk to all of you about your wonderful children!

Announcements:
This week we begin our two week swim. Make sure your child has their swimsuit and towel! This also means our language arts time in the afternoon will be a little bit shorter, so any extra studying your child can do at home will be very beneficial!

This week in language arts our main story will be Tops and Bottoms.

We will be discussing the genre of fantasy and folk tales, and focusing on determining the author's purpose and predicting.

This week in grammar we will focus on singular possessive nouns (dad's, corn's, tonight's etc.).

Our spelling words this week are words with spl, thr, squ, and str blends.

splash
throw

Some of these words are pretty tough! Make sure you are studying them nightly, and remember to check out www.spellingcity.com for extra help.

In math we will being finishing up subtraction, and moving into adding and subtracting money and determining when to add or subtract.

Have a wonderful week!
