Turkey in Disguise
On Friday your child brought home a fun family project, to disguise a Thanksgiving turkey! Please work together to make your child's turkey NOT look like a turkey (some great ideas were provided in the notice). Your child should return their decorated turkey to school by Friday, November 15th. Thank you! 🦃
Curriculum Update:
Into Reading
Last week we began Module 3 in our Into Reading curriculum! The theme of this unit is My Community Heroes, and last week we worked hard to answer the question: "What makes a community?". The books Places in my Community by Bobbie Kalman and Map My Neighborhood by Jennifer Boothroyd both helped us deepen our understanding of what a community is and why communities are important. Through our lessons we also revisited the genre of informational text, and identified the topic, central idea, and key details of a given stories.
Fundations
Last week in Fundations the children learned about the letters e and r. We also practiced reading the sight words "at" and "up".
The mystery bag was back as the students practiced sorting objects that began with the letter of the week R, and review letters D and S.
Math
In math last week the last began to explore the concept of "one more" and "one less". Mastering this concept will prepare the children to begin learning about addition and subtraction in the upcoming weeks.
The students above practice identifying the number that is "one more" while playing a fun roll and cover game.
Writer's Workshop
The labeling fun continues in Writer's Workshop! Last week the students practiced drawing and labeling an apartment building. This lesson went nicely with our Into Reading curriculum as we learned that apartment buildings are a part of our community!
