November is going to fly by fast! This week we have 2 Veterans coming in to inform us about their job in the military. It'll be great to hear first hand from one who has experienced being in the military!
The specials team will also be doing an Veteran's Day activity with the kids that did not get the reward of a PE party from a certain amount of money brought in for the Lap-a-thon.
The class will also write a "Thank You" letter for a veteran this week!
Thank You to all of you parents who are Veterans!!
We appreciate YOU!
I have one speaker coming in Thursday and one on Friday. I think it would be great if your child wore red, white, or blue on Thursday and Friday! If your child has any camouflage, that would work too!
Phonics this week!
We are beginning consonant digraphs this week. A digraph is 2 letters together making one sound (sh, th, ch, wh, ph).
This week we will focus on /sh/ at the beginning and end of a word, along with /th/ at the beginning and end of a word. We are also learning that /th/ has an unvoiced sound like in "thin" and a voiced sound like in "the"
Our heart words this week are: were, gave, go, first
were: we can sound out the w, but have to memorize ere.
gave: we can sound out gav, but have to memorize e. No word will have a v at the end by itself. There will always be an e after it.
go-- we can sound it out
first: the i is the only letter to memorize
Math:
*Making a ten from an addition problem to solve easier. 8 + 4 would be 10 + 2. We used our ten frame magnetic paddles to solve this.
Today we just practiced with our paddles. We will do the assignment tomorrow.
*Adding 3 numbers together. Looking for doubles and making 10 to add together first.
Our test will probably be next week.
Science
We are continuing with the study of the moon and its 8 phases. Tonight will still be a "waxing gibbous" meaning it looks like the moon is getting bigger. Tomorrow night will be a Full Moon! Then it will begin waning or getting smaller.
We will do a fun activity with Oreos the end of the week showing all of the different phases and then it will be fun to eat them! Shh! It's a secret!
Coming up!
Rainy day fun in the Imagination Station
