Week of November 10th

Weekly Learning

Reading: Suffixes is the latest component to be included with our FUNdations learning.  We are building words using the many rules we have learned and the words are moving beyond the basic consonant, vowel, consonant words.  We will read The Little Red Hen (360 lexile level) during class this week.  Throughout the story, we will focus on comprehending what we read while using text evidence to support our responses.  Students will use picture clues from the story to sequence the events that took place.  We will also write about the pictures using our words.  Please work on comprehension daily with your child by asking them the 5 W's.  If your child can tell you who, what, when, how, or why about the story being read or listened to, then strong comprehension is taking place.

 

Writing: A seasons book is in the works.  After reading about the seasons, we will write about each season and create unique season books.  Look for our capital letters, spelling, grammar, and punctuation to be improved since the beginning of the school year.

 

Math: Topic 5 is underway regarding solving problems up to 20.  Please check out the Xtramath or Sumdog websites to allow your child to practice at home in a fun way.

 

Social Studies and Science: Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving will be the topics covered during November for Social Studies.  Science class is conducting an experiment with potatoes and apple seeds.  Ask your child about their predictions and observations.
