No School tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov. 6 due to Election Day.

Spelling words focus on the long o sound: grow, low, toe, goes, soap. The Dolch words: own, show, know, now, how

We’re continuing to focus on informational text in both reading and writing.  We’re reading and writing facts about a girl who’s family is deaf and also reading facts about owls so we can write what we’ve learned about these birds.

Our math lessons continue with measuring and comparing lengths using meters and centimeters. We’ve learned that a centimeter is about the width of our pinky finger, an unsharpened pencil is about 20 centimeters, and our arms stretched out is about a meter. We also learned that 1 meter is about 2 of our classroom desks pushed together. We’ve been calling these Benchmark measures.

We’re beginning a new Science unit so the for the next 6 weeks or so we’ll be learning all about water, where it’s found on Earth, what those are called: river, ocean, stream, pond, lake, glacier. And how water has shaped Earth’s surface.

Social Studies is still reading different maps. This week is comparing Dearborn to another community using maps to see what’s the same and what’s different.

Please remember, some of you having conferences with me this Thursday after school. If you can’t make it for some reason, please send me an email. As in the past, report cards will be gone over and given to you then.

Have an awesome week!
