This week we finished up talking about Fiction and why we read fiction. We focused on the book, The Bear Snores On, and we got to act out the book in our classroom! Find out what character your kid acted as and what they had to do!

November 5-9th

We have a very busy week ahead of us!

Reading- This week we will be talking about how to question a story so we can understand it better. Why does the character do something? What is the setting/ who are the characters?
We will also be talking about fiction and fantasy and how we can tell when a book is fiction/fantasy. We will also be working on poems that have alliteration (words that begin with the same sounds) and how to break down words so we can spell them!

Writing- We will be continuing to work on our stories that have a beginning, middle and end and we will be starting to talk about spaces in between words of our sentences.

Math- Number work and games!
The kids will be working on writing numbers correctly, learning about the Pan Balance and which objects are heavy and which ones are light, and playing many math games like Monster Squeeze!

Science- We are still working on fabrics and will be doing our fabric collage and we will be taking fabric apart to see how they are put together!

Monday is Veteran's Day and there will be a special presentation given by a Veteran!

What kind of building can you make with 14 blocks?

This week we will be learning:

Reading- We will be talking a lot about Connecting the stories we read to ourselves = Text-to-self

(This reminds me of me or my life)

Text-to-text

(This reminds me of another story)

Text-to-world

(This reminds me of something outside of the book)

We will also be learning more about the letter A!

Writing- We are beginning to write small moment stories. That means the kids are taking a story and stretching it out to have a beginning, middle and an end. This story is going to be stretched over 3 PAGES!!!!

Math- Get out those adding machines because we are going to start learning the basics of addition along with symmetry!

Science- We are going to revisit what we know about fabric and continue where we left off in our science unit!
