Words of the week: ran, sat, sit *Tip for practicing names: This week, work with your child on forming all the letters in their name correctly (make sure only the first letter in their first and last name is capitalized!). Here’s an awesome website to create customized tracing sheets! You can stick one page in a sheet protector and use expo markers to practice over and over again! https://www.createprintables.com/name_tracing_worksheet.php Reading: This week in reading we will be continuing to strengthen our reading superpowers! Working with partners helps make our reading stronger. Partners can help us practice pointing to words and check that each word only gets one point. As super readers we won’t get defeated when we encounter trouble during reading time. Instead, we can call on all the powers we already have and picture power, too! Picture power helps us study the picture then check the first letters and context on the page to make sure our words are right. As students learn more and more snap words, we have to make sure we make our snap word power strong by working with our snap words over and over again to recognize them in a… well, a snap! Activate all your powers super readers!
Writing: This week as we continue to explore how to make our writing ready for readers, we will explore how other authors write! We can look closely at author’s we love and see what they did in their writing. Than we can think “What did this writer do that I could try?” We will be using their new technique to add even more to our stories! As we begin to wrap up this unit, we will be reviewing how to prepare our piece for “publishing” and talking about the importance of an ending. We can end our writing with feeling just like Mem Fox did in Koala Lou!
Math: This week we will begin learning about 3D shapes! We will take a day to study each shape and create an interactive word wall. We will be looking at their faces, edges, and vertices. Students will also be looking at the shapes to see if they slide, stack, and/or roll! 3D shapes: cube, cylinder, cone, sphere Vocabulary: Face: a flat surface on a 3D shape Edge: a place where faces meet Vertices: a place where 2 edges meet to form a point Don’t forget: 3D SHAPES ARE FAT, NOT FLAT! Be on the lookout for 3D shapes all around you!
Science & Social Studies: November 11th we celebrate and honor our veterans! We will be studying what it means to be a veteran and characteristics that describe them. Students will be sharing and discussing fall traditions by comparing long ago to present. Students will share the fall traditions they practice today and look back in history to see how they are the same and different. Comments are closed.
