Ms. Perry's Class
What we are learning this week
Reading- Reading to Learn New information
Writing- Narrative Stories and Thanksgiving writing.
Spelling/Phonics- ee and ea sound
words to study (including fry words)
I am changing the way I grade spelling. I will only be grading 3 spelling words (the one's below that I stared) On Monday, I will be sending home a rubric which will be how I will start grading spelling and writing. I want the words to be in context and used in an authentic way. At first, we will write them in sentences. We will move to writing a story the later part of the year.
When practicing spelling, have your child begin using the following words in sentences.
1. steam
2. team **
3. mean **
4. clean **
5. jean
6. every
7. near
8. add
9. food
10. between
Math- Addition and Subtraction Story Problems cont. and Odd/Even Numbers
Social Studies- Thanksgiving
Science-Magnets

Important Information
If you have not already emailed or sent in a photo of your child having fun or a recent memory, please do so today. We will be using them for a narrative writing piece this week. It could be a photo of a vacation, Thanksgiving last year, swimming at the pool, etc. If you want me to print out the photo please email me a copy.
If your child has not brought in a set of markers, quart sized ziploc bags and 8 1/2 sized construction and manilla paper, we can use those supplies.
Also some Science supplies needed:
most urgent (when we get back from break) foam tubing used to insulate pipes (to make ramps and roller coasters), cookie sheets, tempera paint of different colors.
*thank you to Mrs. Rota for the paper towel tubes, and baby food jars!
empty water bottles
empty 2-liter bottles
eye droppers
colored tissue paper (primary colors)
cotton balls
5-6 2 cup rubbermaid type/throwaway containers
toothpicks
shaving cream (3-4 cans-not the gel)
Plastic insects/bugs/fish
Seashells
Modeling clay
I really could not do this without support from parents!
Thank you so much!
