Week of Nov 17-22
Odds and Ends
Happy weekend everyone. I hope you are all enjoying some rest and relaxation. Coming up this week there are a couple of important things due. First is the orders for Christmas cards. Our art work has been completed, and if you would like to order any cards with your child's artwork on it, the forms must be in by Wednesday the 19th. Also, if you would like some shoe boxes sent home for operation Christmas Child, those forms must be in ASAP as the collection for the completed shoe boxes is this week. Also, December book orders will be sent home on Monday and will be due back on Friday the 22nd, as to make sure there is enough time to receive your books before Christmas.
Language Arts
Spelling:
The spelling words for this week are as follows (long "o" words);
those low goat own coat go hope sold over ago
Writing:
The topic of our writing this month is forest creatures. Our main focus this week will be using descriptive verbs in our writing. We have called them "no-go" words. Instead of using words like go and went, how can we describe how we are moving better? We can use words such as waddles, skipped, zoomed, etc. All of our writing still revolves around informative and narrative writing pieces, and how we can write them successfully.
Math
We are continuing in our patters unit as well as our numbers to 100 unit. We wrote a quiz on continuing a pattern as well as creating a pattern. This week our focus will be on increasing patterns. In our numbers unit, we will still be doing some work on skip counting, as well as recognizing numbers to 100.
Science
We have began our next science unit, Hot and Cold Temperatures. Our main focus at the beginning of the unit is learning to read a thermometer. Any chance you get at home with your child to read a thermometer/ask them what the temperature is, that would be fantastic. The more practice they get the better.
Social
We are continuing our unit on learning about other communities. We have looked at the history of Iqaluit and what makes it unique. We have learned why people settled in Iqaluit. We will be looking at the history of Meteghan and Saskatoon this week and finding out when and why people settled in those communities.
I hope everyone has a wonderful week ahead.
