Our Weekly Learning                11-3-17
News and Information Don’t forget to send back those book bags on Fridays for new books. Thanksgiving break will be here before you know it!  We will be out of  school the entire week of Thanksgiving. The weather has been all over the place. Make sure your child has a coat for outside recess when the weather is chilly.  We go outside whenever it is possible. Looking for a helpful hand….I have several things that need to be cut out before and after laminating for centers activities. If you have some extra time and would like to help out please let me know. Have a great weekend!
Language Workshop This week we started a new unit on the Sun and Moon. We learned about nonfiction text features (title, table of contents, headings, and glossary). We read The Sun and learned about identifying the main idea and key details.	Math Workshop Will Module 1 ever come to an end??? We are finally getting close! This week we did more practice on subtraction. We are really working hard to gain good number sense.
Writing Workshop Most of our students have finished up their opinion writing on their favorite special class. Students had to state their opinion, give two reasons for their opinion, and wrap up their writing.	Word Study Group A worked on -th, -sh, -wh, and -ch words.   Group B worked on word families -ug, -ut, un.
Next Week Next week we will continue to learn about the sun and moon and so several fun activities.  In writing, we will begin learning about informative writing. In math, we will continue to focus on subtraction.	Important Dates 11/20-11/24 Thanksgiving Break **We are getting low on our snack supply.  If you would like to send some in, we would appreciate it!
