Hello Everyone,
What a week it has been! I hope everyone enjoyed the festivities this week, it was great seeing all the kids dressed up on Tuesday! I have officially taken over all of the subjects! I apologize for not sending an update sooner, but Mrs. Koenig has sure kept me busy! :) Below is some more information on what we have been learning this week, and will dive into next week! Have an wonderful weekend!
Writing: We are finishing up learning how to become better writers by adding details, adjectives, and verbs to our writing! We practiced adding adjectives to our writing when creating our silly pumpkin patch earlier this week! Hopefully you all had the chance to pop your head in and see the pumpkin patch, it looks great! Next week we are jumping into publishing a story! The students will chose one story of their liking, and practice revising and editing to publish a wonderful story!
Math: This week we finished up topic three, which taught us all about addition facts! We have learned fun games, and activities to go along with practicing our math facts. Keep practicing those math facts at home too! Next week we are starting topic four and changing gears a bit. We are transitioning from addition over to subtraction, so we will be learning all the different strategies to solve subtraction problems. We have some fun stuff planned!
PMI / Word Work: This week our two word chunks were SH and ASH. We spent the week practicing the chunks, and brainstorming different words with the chunks. The accountable words for the week were get and tell. This next week our two chunk are ET and ELL, and went and best for accountable words.
Social Studies: We finished our unit on cultures and traditions and have transitioned back to our families now and then unit. We wanted to start our unit including Thanksgiving until November started so what we are exploring is fresh and new! We have read different books explaining what Thanksgiving is (Check out the book Thanksgiving is, the students loved it) and the importance of Thanksgiving in our history. Today we took a virtual field trip on the Mayflower. The students LOVED this even more! We put on our Pilgrim hats, packed our bags, and boarded our virtual ship and learned about the journey that was taken years ago.
Reading: We have some word detectives on our hands! We have continued our word detective unit and learned more strategies that will help us decode and figure out unknown words. This week we have learned about blends and digraphs, which will help us read words that we may not know. Next week we will continue our word detective unit, and hopefully receive a new mission from the agency! Fingers crossed!
