Happy Veteran's Day!

Happy Veteran’s Day to all that have served!  Thank you for your dedication to our country.


During Reading we learned that...
  • Readers use their SUPERPOWERS to solve tricky words!
  • Use the picture and think about what the word will be...
  • Say the first letter sound...
  • Stretch out the other sounds...
  • Re-read...does it make sense?
During Writing we learned that...
  • Writers write TRUE STORIES - called narratives.
  • Think of a story, sketch their story, add words and labels to match.
  • Labels give the reader information about the picture.
During Math we learned a new way to play Grab and Count, Roll and Record, and Pop.  We practiced counting the days of school by ones, fives, and tens.  We used the math rack to make different numbers.


Social Studies/Science:  We learned about Veteran's Day!  We tested our Sink or Float predictions!


REMINDERS:
Conferences begin the week after Thanksgiving.  Tuesday-Friday will be early dismissal days (1:25).  Please plan accordingly!
