I will be gone on Monday to take my son to his pediatric eye specialist, but will be back on Tuesday.
Reading - We will continue our leveled literature circle groups working to find main ideas throughout their stories as well as identifying parts of speech in text.
English - We will finish up verb recognition and start identifying adjectives. We also continue to do a daily English review in our morning work.
Spelling - List 4....sounds of "e" I will put the list up on spellingcity.com on Tuesday. Last week we forgot about spelling enrichment until Thursday. I still had a few that wanted to do it anyway, but this week, just know the list is entitled "o enrichment words" on spellingcity.com. One night is usually not enough time to study these harder words.
Math - Expressions, Addition properties, Equations, Finding rules in patterns We will also continue to do our daily math review as well.
Social Studies - Oklahoma symbols, Great Depression and Dust Bowl Days We will be creating a study guide on Wednesday for our Oklahoma History Test. The test will be on Friday. This is the children's first major test. They will probably need to study both on Wednesday and Thursday evenings for it. We have talked quite a bit about the history in class and will continue to do so, but nothing helps more than follow-up at home.
*****Don't forget that the 5 Pocket People Biographies are due on Tuesday!***** I have had 2 already turned in that were phenomonal!! I can't wait to see the rest!
The Scrip orders are due on Tuesday by noon. I was mistaken in my earlier post thinking they were due this past Friday. There is still time to turn it in! :)
On November 9th, our class will be visiting the Cherokee Strip Museum and Turkey Creek School. The children will get to spend a day as a typical student in 1910. This is a very special and fun field trip for the kids! Most of the children dress up as pioneer children. The boys either wear jeans and a button up shirt, sometimes with suspenders, or overalls. The girls wear an old fashioned (floral or calico print) dress usually past the knees, many wear a bonnet as well. Some of the girls wear an apron as part of their dress too. It is definitely NOT mandatory to dress pioneer style, but encouraged. I wanted to give you plenty of notice so that you had time to find something or make something. Sometimes, I've had parents find things at thrift stores or they have borrowed something from someone. I've also had a few lucky ones that either knew how to sew or knew someone that did. I will send home a more detailed letter about the trip in a couple of weeks.
Don't forget that parent-teacher conferences are on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon/evenings. Hopefully, you have written down your time.
The children took home a fundraiser packet on Friday. We are all working hard to raise enough money to put in a new playground for our school. The goal for this fundraiser is for everyone to sell 4 items. I realize if you have more than one child doing this fundraiser, that's harder to do, but please, if you can, try to participate in this worthy cause! :)
Thanks for being such awesome, involved parents, and most importantly, for sharing your beautiful children with me!
Here are your cuties "Saving Fred"! This was a science experiment we conducted on Friday! Fun!
