First Week of November!

I am so grateful for the opportunity to meet with each of you during parent-teacher conferences.  Your appointment time was on the half-sheet of purple paper that I sent home last week, and it is written on the report card that you will receive on Tuesday.  I have also put a list of times and initials on the blog if you need to check it.

Our learning goals for the week:

Reading: We are continuing to read Because of Winn-Dixie, and the skills that we will be focusing on this week are making predictions, using contractions for am, is and are, and using similes (making comparisons with "like" and "as". The main genre that we will read this week is realistic fiction.

Vocabulary: shadow and search

Spelling: Unexpected Consonant Patterns (kn, wr, tch)

Math: We will be wrapping up the structured lessons on subtracting on Monday and Tuesday.  Later in the week, the students will start to learn multiplication by investigating groups of items.

Science: During our LEAD 21 Reading time and small groups, each student will be investigating the question "How does science help us understand the natural word?"

Have a safe and happy Halloween!
Miss Kimpton
