November 2 - 6

During the week of November 2-6 we will be covering the following topics:

Social Studies: How families meet needs/wants
Writing: Organization (characters, setting, problem, solution)
Math: Addition/Subtraction to 12, Near Doubles
Science: Parts of a whole
Spelling: Word families -ad and -at (mad, dad, glad, bat, cat, flat) and sight words was, get, do, all.

Don't forget to work with as many -ad and -at words as possible, though! Our bonus words are generally created using those word families so that is a great way to prepare for those unknown words!

Also, please remember that I do give every student an opportunity to spell the challenge words on our challenge list on Friday. However, I stress to them that these are "extra points" and do not take off for missing the words. I only add for any words that are spelled correctly! :)

And lastly, this week we are visiting the library Monday and Tuesday as part of our Kevin Henkes author study. Our librarian has lots of fun activities planned for us and we are excited to find out what they are! Be sure to ask your child about it!

Have a great week!

Mrs. Green
