We took advantage of the election and spoke about the role and responsibilities of being the president. We had our own election. The candidates were an Oreo and a sugar cookie! The winner by a landslide was the sugar cookie! In social studies, we were introduced to biographies. Students will be choosing an individual to research and present at the Wax Museum in February. This is a large assignment so we are getting a head start now. We also took a few minutes to remember veterans and the sacrifices that they and their families have made.
Topic 4 is complete and we are beginning Topic 5- Subtracting Within 100 Using Strategies. These will include
breaking apart numbers, using a hundred chart, and an open
number line. Also, we will also analyze information to model and solve one and
two-step word problems.
In E.L.A., we learned How are offspring like their parents? We read Eagles & Eaglets and Baby Bears. We also looked at a life cycle of both plants and animals. Our new FUNdations unit is the vowel-consonant-e syllable like words like froze, ride and shake. We made a sneaky bandit e who likes to sneak up and pinch the first vowel. When he does that, the vowel yells his name!
Next Week:
* Muffins with Mom is next week. Last names A-M is on Wednesday and Last names N-Z is on Thursday.
* Scholastic Book Fair is all week- We will be previewing it on Tuesday and making our wishlists.
Thanks!
