Wow, can't believe November is here. Bring on the pumpkin bread and sweaters. We have our November Rock N' Roll this Friday. I apologize, but I will not be here. Katy ISD does not have school on Friday and I need to be home with my children.
The kids have worked hard on their non fiction writing. I plan to have their writing on their desk Friday morning so you all can spend some time reading them.
Library Thursday!
Here's the news for the week.
Math
I'm impressed in how well the kids are doing with addition with regrouping. I definitely need to make sure I'm challenging them. Not only are we working with addition, but we are also working on word problems. The kids have been introduced to a new problem solving graphic organizer. This allows them to draw a picture, solve them problem, and check their answers using different methods.
Reading
We have moved on to a new unit. We are working on strategies to tackle tricky words. We have also started a new read aloud, "How to Eat Fried Worms" The kids did a great job at telling me what good readers do before they start reading.
Writing
Where are all my poets? What a fun genre to study. This unit allow the kids to show me their outside of the box thinking. We are discussing how we can look at things differently using our poets eyes.
Snap word test on Friday!
Science
What a fun week it has been. The kids have had many fun experiments so far. Making mazes, catapult stations, etc. We will continue the fun this week. Vocabulary words for force and motion: motion, position, force, rolling, sliding, spinning, direction, etc.
We have garden day tomorrow. Please make sure your child dresses appropriately.
