Good morning \ud83d\ude42 I hope those of you who came to Literacy Night last Thursday enjoyed yourselves. There seemed to be many enjoyable activities.<\/p>\n
Late Start this Wednesday. School begins at 9:35.<\/strong><\/p>\n Thank you to those of you who have sent in the field trip permission slip and $5. If you haven’t please do so as soon as possible. The office needs to send the admission money over prior to our trip.<\/p>\n This weeks spelling words focus on 2 sounds of the letters c and g: cent, city, cave, girl, gym. The Dolch reading words: gave, give, carry, call, clean<\/p>\n We are finishing our opinion writing this week on the topic “a book I like to read”. We’ll be creating a finished product that will look like a book shelf. The students always love this final copy!<\/p>\n Our reading strategy continues with using the illustrations to gain information about the characters, plot and setting of a story. This week, I’ll be using a variety of stories, 1 which is a story for social studies about how a goat is used to make a rug! (The natural,\u00a0 capital and human resources used to make a rug from goat hair). This story is based on a real person from the Navajo nation in Arizona.<\/p>\n As you can tell from reading, our social studies unit continues with understanding the resources used to make products: human (people), capital (machines, tools, $$), natural (animals, water, plants)<\/p>\n The students have done very well with our 2 and 3 digit addition. Now, we get into subtraction. We’ve done this before with “unbundling” a 10 to move it to the ones place. This is the same process as many of us learned but called it borrowing or trading.<\/p>\n Science continues with the processes that shape the Earth’s surface.<\/p>\n Library book check out is this Thursday. Please return library books by Wednesday.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Enjoy your week and yay for warmer temperatures! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Good morning \ud83d\ude42 I hope those of you who came to Literacy Night last Thursday enjoyed yourselves.
