Hi Families! It looks like this week will be a really cold one! Make sure your kiddos are bundled up! We will be doing lots of long distance walks to various classes such as computer, library, music, etc.
This week's agenda:
Reading - Mysteries -leveled readers - We have been working on vocabulary related to mysteries. Ask your child what a red herring is. :) The children are also doing an Ingredients to a Mystery checklist, a Suspect List, a Components to a Mystery Report, as well as a Surprise Window Book Report.
Spelling - Contractions - List 11 on spellingcity.com Enriched spelling will start back up this week. I will let the children know what list.
English - Prepositions and Possessives
Math - Double Digit Multiplication - Practice at home with your child on this important skill. It will be hard for some of them, especially if they do not know their multiplication facts.
Science - Space - We will be looking at comets, the zodiac, and will become detectives solving meteorite mysteries! For the last couple of years my students have made space habitats. This is the coolest project! We not only relate science to it, but math as well! The children have loved this project. This year because of limited funding, Mr. Rainey will not be able to purchase the supplies for this project. The children really want to do it and I want them to do it as well, so I am asking each child to contribute $2 towards this worthwhile project. Please help us out by sending $2 to school by Friday. My husband helps me purchase the materials at Lowes and cuts the pieces for me. It is a pretty big undertaking and I want to give him time to do this. Thanks in advance for your support. I really appreciate having such involved and supportive families.
Don't forget the Mitten homework assignment is due on Wednesday!
