Reader's Workshop
Tuesday, we began the week with My "m" book by Jane Belk.
Tuesday, we started reading our Missouri Building Block Award Nominees for 2015. The first book that we read was Down by the Barn written by Will Hillenbrand. This was a fun book that is read to the tune of "Down by the Station".
Social Studies
There are ten nominees and each week, we will read at least two of the nominees and then the class will submit their individual votes during the month of November by a "secret ballot". We will them take them to Mid-Continent where they can be counted and the voting will close on December 31st.
We also talked briefly about where Haiti is located on the map in preparation for the mission p[project that KCLC is sponsoring! A note went home on Tuesday with the details of our mission!
Math
Science
Another brilliant hypothesis that the class came up with was that "maybe magnets do not pick up small items", such as Ms. Lori's necklace. They are amazing thinkers!
This was another fabulous week for Science! We had so much fun on our messy day on Thursday! We read The Messy Family written by Katherine Pebley O'Neal and had several activites to play with and textures to explore.
Making our class "messy muck" slime was SO much fun! This was made with liquid starch, glue, and green washable paint! It is coming home today!
Writer's Workshop
You may review these letters with your child and reinforce "starting in the corner at the dot and make a straight line down and then 'frog jump' back to the dot and finish the letter."
Next week we will begin our "Starting Corner Capitals". "These letters ensure that children start at the top left and use the left-to-right formation habit. This follows the same form as reading: top to bottom and left to right." We will begin next week with the letter "H".
