First off, a big shout out and thank you to the parents who helped with our Halloween party!! The games and crafts were so fun, and the treats were delicious. I had multiple kids tell me it was the most fun class Halloween party ever, and I couldn't have done it without you! So THANK YOU!!!
Important Reminders:
Parent Teacher Conferences are this week! I have been and will be sending home reminders, so if you haven't heard from me regarding your time, let me know!
This week we will be doing a few projects for Veteran's Day, including painting a large flag to show our support for our troops on Wednesday. This is a good day to wear painting clothes (clothes you don't mind if they get stained).
This week in reading our main story is "Prudy's Problem and How She Solved It".
We are working on determining the main idea and supporting details, and organizing our thoughts into strong paragraphs (with introductions, transitions, and a conclusion).
In grammar we are focusing on irregular plural nouns. These include nouns that change into new words when they become plural (child/ children), nouns that end in -f and change to -ves endings (leaf/ leaves), and nouns that are the same in plural and singular form (sheep/sheep).
Our spelling words are:
sunglasses
homework
haircut
popcorn
railroad
snowstorm
earring
scarecrow
blueberry
butterflies
lawnmower
campground
sandbox
toothbrush
thumbtack
earthquake
scrapbook
courthouse
whirlpool
The focus is on compound words, so it would be really beneficial to help your child notice the individual words that make up the compound word.
In math we will begin subtraction using borrowing, and other models for subtracting 2 and 3 digit numbers.
As always, keep reading 20 minutes a night and filling out those reading calendars!
See you all on Thursday!
