I hope you all had a wonderful day!
We had a great time on our field trip to the library. The students did a fabulous job and we got a huge compliment from our tour guide about how quiet and respectful they were throughout the library.
Nonfiction Scavenger Hunt
We have been learning about different nonfiction text features.
Your child should be able to identify and tell the purpose of a table of
contents, heading, photograph/caption, close-up, comparison, diagram, framed
text, chart/table, glossary, and index. After learning about these we
have been going on a scavenger hunt to find examples of these features in
books.
Math
We have been enjoying reading a variety of fables this week.
Yesterday, we read Mousetropolis (a variation of The
City Mouse and the Country Mouse). We had a challenging two-part word
problem to solve in math. The kids persevered and solved both parts in
their partnerships!
Writing
In writing, we are working on writing our own fables! I have
heard several kiddos say how much they are enjoying this! We talked about
that if we are changing up a fable that it is called a fractured fable.
We read Go, Pete, Go! today which is a fractured from
the fable The Tortoise and the Hare.
All the kids looked so cute dressed as fable characters today!
November Book It Form Due
As a reminder, the November Book It form is due by Friday,
December 2. If your child participated please make sure that this form
gets turned in. I will send home the December Book It Sheet tomorrow.
Wear a Pair, Give a Pair
The collection of pajamas for The Rainbow House continues through
Friday. As a reminder, if your child donates a pair of pajamas then s/he
can wear pajamas on Friday! The kids are enjoying getting to go and see
their kindergarten teacher when they bring in pajamas.
Weather
Brrrr!!! The weather has definitely shifted & you can
feel winter in the air. Please make sure that your child is coming to
school with a winter coat, hat, gloves/mitten, etc. The playground is windy and
cold without any windbreakers. The students also get cold going to buses and waiting at Parent Pick Up.
Have a wonderful evening and stay warm!
Mrs. Ross
