Week of November 13, 2017

We enjoyed our cupcakes with gummy worms on Monday that the class voted for last week.  We completed reading our first long read aloud book, Nim’s Island by Wendy Orr.  It was a lot of fun watching the movie and comparing and contrasting it with the book.

Canned Food Drive – Thank you to everyone that has sent in canned and boxed goods for the Saint Paul Food Pantry.  We will continue to collect items through Monday.

Religion:  This week we continued to learn about our senses that are gifts from God.  We should appreciate each of our senses and thank God for them.

Language Arts:  This week we worked with beginning and middle /i/ sounds.  In addition, we are continue to work on distinguishing our medial vowel sounds – focusing on /i/, /a/, and /o/.  Our vocabulary focus was:  understanding the meaning of materials.  Our comprehension strategies included:  sequencing events, using prior knowledge, answering questions about a story, drawing conclusions.

Math:  This week we worked on representing, counting and writing the number 9.  We are looking at different ways to get to 5-9.  We filled up our 100’s chart -- which means we have been in school for over 50 days!  We took all the numbers out of the chart and are starting over.  When we fill it up again we will celebrate our 100^th day of school.

COMING UP …

Week of November 6, 2017

This week we continued learning about elections.  We talked about reasons to vote for our favorite snack.  The class voted between cupcakes with gummy worms, chocolate chip cookies, and donuts.  The cupcakes won! We’ll be enjoying cupcakes with gummy worms on Monday.  This week we also learned about Veteran’s Day.  We talked about how lucky we are that we live in such a wonderful country.  We made pictures on a flag background honoring the Pledge of Allegiance.

 Canned Food Drive -- please consider donating canned or boxed goods for the Akron/Canton Food Pantry.  This is a good opportunity to teach your child about giving to others less fortunate.  We have been talking about ways your child can earn extra money to pay for their donations.

Religion:  This week we learned how Hannah shared her feelings with God and others.  We discovered that our senses are gifts from God.  We should appreciate each of our senses and thank God for them.

Language Arts:  This week we worked with beginning and ending S/s/ and L/l/.  We worked with rhyming words, creating word family –og and –ot lists.  We are working with blending the first two letters in words as a decoding strategy.  Our vocabulary focus was:  bag and gloves.  Our comprehension strategies included:  using prior knowledge, associating pictures with words, drawing conclusions, and recognizing plot.

Math:  This week we worked on representing, counting and writing the number 8.  We are looking at different ways to get to 5-8.  We filled up our 100’s chart -- which means we have been in school for over 50 days!  We took all the numbers out of the chart and are starting over.  When we fill it up again we will celebrate our 100^th day of school.

 

COMING UP …

Language Arts:  We will be working with the beginning and medial sounds I/i/.  We will be learning about homophones.

Math:  We will be working on representing, counting and writing numbers 9 & 10.
