Hello! We are having fun learning about spiders and sound in science. We will add light to this next week. Reminder that parent/teacher conferences are Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon/evening. I sent a copy of your time home this week. If it didn't make it, send me an email and I'll get it to you.
Thank you to everyone that has already donated to our Primary Auction Basket and to everyone who donated treats and markers for our classroom. Thank you also for those that have already sent items in for our edible spiders!
READING AND LANGUAGE ARTS
We started our unit on fairy tales in reading. We are comparing different versions of the same fairy tale as we look for the special characteristics that make a story a fairy tale. We are also reading fraction fairy tales to get us ready to write some of our own.
We are working with the short i sound in spelling and various beginning word blends. We started our November journals. We are becoming better risk takers every day. We are amazed at what we can spell when we try listening for sounds.
MATH
We are working with number stories with addition and subtraction. We also started frames and arrows. These have numbers in boxes (frames) that go a certain direction (arrows). We look for the pattern by asking if the numbers are getting bigger (addition) or smaller (subtraction). Then we ask how much bigger or smaller and complete the empty boxes. They will use these a lot in the math program from here on out.
