Week 15  November 21-22


This is our Thanksgiving week and the students will not have homework.  Have a wonderful break and come back refreshed on Monday, November 28! 


This week in 1B:


Students are very excited about their Egypt Party on Monday!  Thank you parents for helping out with this.  It was a fun unit, and I know we have created memories for a lifetime.

Literature: This week, we will read chapter 3, “Cookies” from Frog and Toad Together. We will discuss the importance of having will power and determination, and we will also put our own will power to the test!

 Spalding: There will not be a spelling test this week, due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Instead, please practice your phonograms. We will take a graded WPR (written phonogram review) on Tuesday in class.

 Writing: copy work and narration exercises from The Railway Children

 Grammar: We will use our question and answer flow to classify and build sentences.

Math:

This week we will finish up our shapes unit by reviewing how to identify and categorize 2D shapes as well as put them into a pattern. We will take our Unit 7 test on Monday. On Tuesday, we will take our units 1-6 cumulative test only after reviewing how to add and subtract within 20 and how to count up and down within 20. We will show courage and rise to the challenge of having two tests! 

 Homework:

Monday: Cumulative test B Units 1-6

Tuesday: N/A- R&R

History:      

This week will be a lot of fun with our Egyptian Party, which is the culminating event for our Egyptian Unit.  Tuesday we will have a variety of Thanksgiving learning activities and read a book about the history of the Pilgrims and some of their adventures in the New World.


Have a Blessed holiday season!
