Welcome to November! I hope everyone had a great weekend!
Joke of the week: What happens to a frog’s car when it breaks down?
Language Arts- This week we will begin our seventh lesson in our Journey’s series. We will be opening our lessons by blending words, I will blend the sounds to say the word. For example, /j/ /am/ equals jam. We will also learn our newest sight word, “we”, learn more vocabulary, and review the sounds for letter Tt. Our topic for the week is how animals and people communicate, and our essential question is: How do animals communicate? & How do people communicate? We will read stories such as Amelia’s Show-and-Tell Fiesta, Mice Squeak, We Speak, and The Fort Worth Zoo. As we read our stories this week we will focus on understanding characters, author’s word choice, and analyzing the text. In grammar we will continue to learn about sensory words, such as red, hot, salty, hard, etc. Authors use these words to help us know how things look, sounds, taste, smell, or feel.
Due to the story Amelia’s Show-and-Tell Fiesta, we will have our own show-and-tell this Friday. I will ask that each student bring in one item special to them, that they can talk about and share with the class! 🙂
Language Arts Centers- This weeks center topics are: beginning sounds, letters, rhyming, and our new sight word “we”.
Math- This week we will continue to learn about Chapter 4, Represent and Count numbers Up to 10.
Jesus Time- This week we will dive into our third religious book, God’s People Get a Land of Their Own, reading the passages and completing the sticker activities!
Science: This week we read one of our November Scholastics, and be sure to check out the pictures and video on Class Dojo to see our “exploding pumpkin” we erupted this past Friday!
Answer: It gets toad away!
