October 27-31, 2014 Week 10

Here we are at week 10!  The holidays are just around the corner and we will be working fast and furiously to learn all we can before the semester ends.  This week will be very busy as we have KONA ICE returning on Wednesday to sell snowcones, pumpkin math on Thursday, and Halloween and the pep rally on Friday!  Wow!  That is alot!  

We will read "Who Works Here?" It is an informational story that teaches about different jobs that people have in a neighborhood.  Our reading skills will be to discuss the author's purpose for writing a story; blend and read long i words; identify special titles such as Ms. Harris,  Dr. Doolittle, Captain Crunch; and digraphs wh, ch, tch.   

 In math we will continue place value using hands on and flipchart activities.

Science is energy and the way objects move (up, down, zigzag)
 
In Social Studies we will explore responsibilities in the family and needs and wants. 

Keep reading at home and ask story questions to build comprehension skills.  Remember to practice spelling and sight words as well.  Thanks for your help! 


If you are helping with the pumpkin math activity on Thursday please make sure that you  are here by 1:00.  Please bring a pumpkin, a knife and a carving set to use with the group that you will be working with.  Thanks!
