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. ***
