Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

We learned about Max this week through his timeline!

This week:

We had a great week learning about Thanksgiving and what it would have been like to be a pilgrim. We read nonfiction and fiction stories about thanksgiving. We made connections to the books we read and recored them in our reading and math notebook.

In math, we found strategies to answer these type of problems 7+2= __+ 4. The students have came up with great strategies to find the answer.

We planned a pretend Thanksgiving meal. We reviewed goods and services as we found what we needed to make our meal. They found it is expensive to plan a large Thanksgiving meal. They had fun doing it.

We also made butter as they would have done in the past.

We welcomed Tatiana to our class this week. We now have 23 students and she is such a sweet girl, which fits in perfectly with the wonderful group of kids I have!

Next week:
We will be using reviewing things we have learned while making turkeys. They will make adding to ten turkeys, noun turkeys, and verb turkeys. We will continue to learn about living in the past and present.

I hope all of you have a great Thanksgiving! I am thankful for your children!

Thank you for coming to conferences. I tell the students all of the time that they are an amazing class. You are the reason they are so great!!

The weather is getting colder. Please remember to send winter gear with your child each day to school. Thank you!

This week:

In reading, we read nonfiction stories about Veterans Day. We focused on what the Table of Contents, Index and Glossary and how they work.

In writing, we wrote about being brave. They had to edit their story to find sight words and spell them correctly.

In math, we played the game in the cup and found the missing addend. I also introduced fractions. They made an American flag using paper chains. They had to find what fraction of their chain each color was.

Next week:
Our sight words next week: about, other, out, up, will
Please write and say these words every day.

We will be learning about the first Thanksgiving and comparing thing from the past to the present. We will make connections to our stories during our read aloud.

In math, we will focus on true and false statements. An example is   8+4= 5+2   and then the students will decide if that is true or false.

This week:

We learned about animals through reading, writing and creating a zoo. The students read books at their level about animals and then wrote questions to go with the book. Then they drew the habitat of an animal they picked and used tens and ones to build enclosures for their animal. 

In math, we added 3 numbers together and practiced the counting on strategy. 

During centers, they got to write about whatever they wanted. Their stories were very creative!
