Our solar system unit was a huge success! The kids learned a lot about the moon, moon phases, the sun, constellations, and planets! What a great job they did making Crayola Model Magic into a planet. We had some Saturns, Earths, Jupiters, Venus, and Uranus. They sure had fun painting them also!
Thank you to Hadley's family for donating the Model Magic to our class!
This week we are going to do Gingerbread activities gearing up to Christmas! We will be comparing and contrasting some books. Today we read The Gingerbread Man and The Gingerbread Baby. Others we will read are The Gingerbread Girl, The Gingerbread Man Loose in School, The Gingerbread Goes to School, The Ninjabread Man, and The Runaway Tortilla. There are so many different versions!
Our new spelling words are:
short "u" words: fun, mug, cut, duck, hush, chug
sight words: one, from, that, are, an have
We only have 6 school days to practice since next Tuesday, the 22nd, is our last day before the break. Please work hard on these with your child so they are successful.
Math this week! We began Chapter 4 over "Subtraction Strategies to 20". We are using number lines as one of the strategies to count back. Also, knowing the doubles facts will help so much with subtraction as we will use the doubles strategy to subtract. I may assign homework pages depending on how they are grasping the concepts this week. I'll try to write "Do" at the top if I would like them to return it.
Reading groups--I am back to working with reading groups this week! Your child will be bringing home a book to read with you one day. It may be a paper book, so please read with them and help them do the homework if they come home with a skill we worked on. Thank you for your support at home!
