Homework Slips :   Homework slips need to be signed and put inside the take home folder.   PLEASE ONLY SIGN HOMEWORK SLIPS WHEN YOUR CHILD DOES HIS/HER HOMEWORK.  Homework slips are checked every morning. 

 

  Math Facts :   The children should practice addition/subtraction math facts (example 2+3= ?) at least twice a week for math homework.   The children can use manipulatives (cubes, counters, dots on dice or dominoes, etc.), pencil and paper (draw pictures to help figure out a problem), computer programs, flashcards, board games, or any other creative way you can think of.   There is nothing to turn in the next day, but make sure to write down the number of minutes on the math fact calendar.

 

 

Book Orders:  Next book order is due!  You can now send one check to school OR even order online!  Hopefully this simplifies the ordering process!  If you wish to purchase a book as a gift, please let me know and I will contact you when the order comes in.

     Reading

 

  Reading this week:  We will be reviewing sight words.

 

WRITING

We are working on:

~ using illustrations to tell a story and writing sentences

 ~stretching out words

~leaving spaces between words and sentences

~capital letters at the beginning of every sentence

~punctuation marks at the end of every sentence

~writing a beginning, middle, and an end

 

Grammar this week:  The students will be reviewing punctuation marks. 

 

 

 Spelling

The spelling tests have 2 different skills, recognition and recall.  The first six words have a spelling pattern:  short or long vowel, blends, etc.  The last four words are high frequency words, words that are often seen while reading.

 

Ways to practice spelling words: 

write them on a dry erase board, write the words in a sentence, use bathtub crayons/markers to write the words while taking a bath, say and clap the words,

use chalk to write the words outside, use playdough to build letters for the words

 

 

 

 

 Math

 

Math this week:   We will be reviewing addition and using pattern blocks.

 

 Science    

 

Unit:   The Sky and Weather

 

  • The sun is the source of heat, which can be measured by temperature, and light, which makes day and night.
  • The moon gets its light from the sun.
  • Stars are grouped in constellations.
  • The Earth and other planets move around the sun.
  • Weather describes the air outside.
  • You can use weather-related instruments to measure weather.   Some weather events are harmful to living things.
  • Seasons:   In spring and summer, the weather gets warmer and living things are more active.   In the fall and winter, the weather is cooler.   Many plants stop growing and animals get less active.   Some animals move to warmer areas during winter.

Science this week:  We will begin our unit on weather.  We will be discussing the water cycle.

 

    Social Studies  

 

Unit:    Where We Live

 

  • Recognize that people live, work, and play in communities.
  • Explore different types of communities.
  • Identify the location of places using maps.
  • Identify and describe the physical characteristics of continents and oceans.
  • Identify the physical characteristics of landforms and bodies of water.
  • Describe local bodies of water and landforms.
  • Learn how to read and make a map key.
  • Describe the physical characteristics of weather.
  • Identify natural resources in the community, state, and nation.
  • Build a model of a community.

 

Social Studies this week:  The students will be reading, discussing, and comparing different types of land and water formations.  They will use pictures to explain the similarities and differences of lakes and rivers.   They will build the different landforms (using playdough) to show plains, hills, and mountains.

 

 Religion

We are working on being attentive and participating during mass.  Being attentive includes following along (sitting, kneeling, and standing) and listening.  Right now, for participation, we are working on doing the sign of the cross, praying the Our Father, and responding when we can. 

We are also learning about God's love for us!

 

We will be learning different religious songs in the classroom!  

We are learning that there are different ways to pray!

 

Religion this week:  The students will be reading and discussing what Advent is.

 

 

Happy Birthday
