We read about prairie dogs and also sea turtles, too.
We finished up Unit 3 in math this week. The math test will be coming home on Monday for you to review, sign and return. In Unit 4, addition and subtraction number stories will be used to develop mental arithmetic skills. We will be solving number stories, reading and showing temperatures on a thermometer, and working on strategies for adding 2 and 3-digit numbers.
The students have been busy writing their How-To stories. We read some stories together to discover how these types of stories are written. Some of our How-To topics are: How To Draw a Snowman, How To Draw a Cat and of course, How To Make a Rainbow Loom bracelet.
In Social Studies, we started the week by learning about Veteran's Day and how it started and why we celebrate that day. Then, we began learning about different geographic features. Ask your child if they can name any. Which features can be found in our community? We took a science test on Balance and Motion. Next week we will be talking about the Thanksgiving holiday and doing some fun activities after hearing some stories about it.
You should have received your child's password to the Wonders Student Center. You will find that this website useful and informative.
Next week is our annual JDRF walk. Please keep sending in your change to raise money for this cause. If we raise enough money, some of the teachers will be doing dances to entertain the students....
Have a nice weekend.
