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.
