Happy Halloween
If you have any candy you would like to donate to school, I will gladly accept it. Please make sure the candy does not contain any peanuts. :) Thank you!
Our Resources for the week are: Monday-COMPUTER LAB and Tuesday-P.E. (We will miss Thursday's Resource due to our all day Field Trip.) Wednesday is an Early Release Day. Thursday is our Field Trip to the Amazing Grace Crop Maze. Please make sure your child wears tennis shoes and brings a bag lunch the day of the trip. I will be sending home Ziploc baggies. Lunch Boxes are not allowed to be brought on this field trip. **Chaperones please make sure to bring a lunch too!
Friday is Sunglasses Day and Annalysia will be bringing in Fun Friday Snacks.
Math
We are still learning about shapes and position words. We will review 2D shapes and then focus on learning the names of 3D shapes. Our little saying to remember the shapes is "2D are FLAT and 3D are FAT." The shapes we will focus on are cone, sphere, cube and cylinder.
Enjoy this video for 3D shapes.
Reading
On Monday we will take a break from our Plants Module and read the story The Little Old Lady Who Wasn't Afraid of Anything. We will practice retelling the story using all the body parts that try to scare the woman. Also, Mrs.Thomas ( she was our substitute the day I was absent) will be coming in to complete a Scarecrow Craft with the students.)
If you aren't familiar with the story, check out the Youtube video below.
Our stories this week are:
budge, gigantic, stew
honey, nectar, petals, pollen, pollination
blossoms, core, fruit, produce, scrumptious
Make sure to discuss the story with your child and review the vocabulary listed below the stories title. In this week's homework packet, there will be a Plants sheet where students will need to match the word to its illustration.
Make sure to practice Sight Words at home. I sent home multiple sheets of Sight Word Money for you to practice words with your child last week. This quarter the students are expected to read 40 Sight Words.
Writing
We will have a Grammar Lesson on Verbs. Review with your child how verbs are action words. Have them act out a verb and allow you to guess what it is.
We will continue working on How To Writing. We will discuss the steps for completing many tasks: making oatmeal, walking the dog, playing catch, etc. (I tried to find a video for you watch, but the videos either have too many steps or the host is a young silly teenager. haha)
Even though our genre has changed, we are still working on using our sounds to write.
Science
We will discuss opposites this week. We will visit Capstone Books to hear all about animals that are big and small, then smooth and rough. Discuss this vocabulary in your home and have your child find items that they can compare. Example: a spoon to a pillow, a cup to the carpet, etc.
Also, watch the video to discuss why the animals are opposites. The video doesn't have any sound, but it goes by quick. So be prepared to pause the video and discuss it with your child.
