ELA

We enjoyed reading our Big Book, Teddy on the Move.  We retold the story by attempting to remember as many details as possible and putting them in order.  We also identified many examples of cause and effect and connected to the author by writing a letter asking him questions about the story.   Our spelling words are: jam, bad, quit, quip, quill

Math 

Students are finding solid shapes in their environment.  They are also using the shapes to build and create representations of objects. They are using the names of shapes and positionals words to describe what they build.

Writing

We wrote some amazing stories this week.  I am sending them home as I read them outloud.     

Social Studies

We read Talk and Work it Out and made a list of ways to solve a problem.  

1. Take time to think about the problem

2. Talk about the problem

3. See how the other person feels

4. Ask a grown up for help

Science:  Animal Safety

Lesson 4. In this Read-Along lesson, a girl notices all the holes in the trees around her house—and sets out to discover how they got there, and why they matter. The students then listened for animal sounds and pretended to be woodpeckers.  

P2:  Supporting others when they struggle

Supporting other people when they struggle is a critical piece of being human. You support others by listening while they describe an event and their feelings about it, taking action to help people in need, or simply just being there and sitting together in silence. 

Reminders: 

Please avoid bringing snacks that contain peanut butter.  Thank you!
