Social Studies
We are finishing up our unit on Schools past and present. Ask your child what were some of the changes that have been made in the classroom. Building time lines was also part of this unit.
Reading
Reading biographies during reading for nonfiction and filling out graphic organizers to keep track of important information is what we have been dong in reading.
Buddies
Playing a game of Build a Man (or dog, or snowman--in my day is was hangman...) with our buddies to help us practice our trick words.
Santa's Stuck
After reading Santa's Stuck, We did a rally robin to brainstorm ways we could help Santa get out of the chimney. I enjoyed the one idea about putting butter all over Santa!!!!
Morning tubs
Making characters names from Fly Guy with our magnets!
Phonics
Unit 6 is base word plus the suffix-s in words like dogs, hats, ships,...For practice, we made paper candy canes and put the words on the stripes.
Top Dog -Luan
Luan's favorite animal is a dog..He loves to eat pizza. He is pawsome at coloring and gaming. When he grows up he would like to be a policeman.
Doggy Bag
1.We are in need of a few more items for our service project. We will be making dog toys for the Naperville Humane Society. We have enough empty water bottles. We are in need of new white gym socks, and fabric markers. Thanks for your help.
2 .Winter is coming. Students must be dressed for the weather. We go outside just about everyday. Students need boots and hats and warm gloves and snowpants for recess. They are outside for 25 minutes. Please have the snowpants in a separate bag as they only need them for recess. We will not be taking time out at the end of the day to put them on to go to the bus or parent pick up. Make sure your child can get themselves dressed independently.
3. Thanks for all your support with the nightly reading bags.
