Hey Families! Hope you are enjoying your Thanksgiving holiday! Here is next week's agenda:
Reading - We will finish up our Owls in the Family book this week. The children will begin a new leveled book as well. We will work on comprehension, setting, predicting, visualizing, inferring, and character analysis.
Spelling - Owls in the Family vocabulary words (under Owls on spellingcity.com) December is a very busy month, so we will take a temporary break from spelling enrichment until after Christmas.
English - Adjectives, Adverbs, and Pronouns
Math - Line graphs, circle graphs, and Venn diagrams
Social Studies - NE Region Posters We will take a test over the locations of the Northeast states on Thursday and a test over the Northeast states/capitals on Friday. I sent home a study guide 2 weeks ago so the children could be looking over them, but if they need a new one, I will be glad to copy some more. They need to let me know.
Science - Owls I ordered the owl pellets! Thanks to all who contributed to this worthwhile project!! Hopefully, they will come in soon!!

Week of November 7th
It's been a windy, but beautiful weekend!! Hope you've enjoyed yours!
Agenda:
Reading - We will finish up the BFG this week! It's been a very enjoyable story! The children have finished their leveled books and will complete their story maps this week. The maps are due on Wednesday. I will then give them a new leveled book by Roald Dahl. (The same author of BFG!)
Spelling - List 10....."schwa" words The enriched list are the "T" words.
English - Adjective Comparatives, Adverbs
Math - Telling time, elapsed time, calendar elapsed time
Social Studies - 13 Colonies and William Bradford, Woodland Indians, George Washington Last week, I sent home a paper that included the states and capitals of the Northeast Region. I told the children that they need to keep this paper in a safe place, like on the frig., and to be getting familiar with these states and capitals. Our tests over these won't be for a couple weeks, but it's always good to be looking over them ahead of time. :)
Science - Human Body We will take notes and create a study guide on Wednesday for a test over the human body on Friday. Be on the lookout for the study guide!
***Don't forget to bring in your disguised turkey homework project. It is due this Friday. ***
***I'm noticing the changing leaves. They are beautiful! Every year, we do a really cool art project with pressed leaves! I want the children to be looking for leaves in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes. Then they should press them. These pressed leaves will be due next Friday, November 18th. I will send home a more specific "how to" this week. ***
