Here’s a quick overview of new things we learned this week:
Comprehension strategy: “Visualize”. We read different stories to go along with our theme “The Places We Go”
New High Frequency Word: “go”
Phonics:blend and isolate sounds in CVC words. New sound/spelling: /k/ Cc
Vocabulary: routine, neighborhood, local, intelligent, volunteer
Math: Lesson 10 continued “Add and Subtract Within 10”
Science: Our key idea for this week is that by playing with and thinking about forces, people can accomplish surprisingly big things. For example, this week we solved the mystery, “How can you knock down a wall made of concrete?” Your child did an activity where they investigated what happened to a “wall” made of cups when they changed the strength and direction of a paper wrecking ball.
We enjoyed our Thanksgiving Pizza Feast! Students were quick to think of things they were grateful for. I’m so grateful for them! Happy Thanksgiving!
