π» Friday, November 20th: MAINE OUTDOOR SCHOOL FIELD TRIP π²
We will be headed to the Jordan Homestead Preserve on Bayside Rd. in Ellsworth.
We will be leaving the school around 9:15 and returning a little after noon. I need to check in with Ms. Katie about lunch- we should make it back in time for pizza, but might need to do bag lunches. I will let you know!
Thanksgiving Luncheon, Tuesday, November 24
This day is also an early release.
This upcoming week, I'll be sending home information on our new math units we are all starting. We have been working hard at our math and making great gains!
This week, we did a lot of word study and reading. Starting next week, I will be sending home books with your reader, for them to practice reading to you each. These books are familiar books that we have already read. Each day, send the book bags with those books back to school, and we will add new books! Rereading is such an important piece of your child's reading growth. I had to order new book bags for our class and they should be arriving tomorrow!Β
We have been using our new word study boards, that are much easier to use than the homemade ones I have used for the past few years!Β We use these to tap out words, build them, write them and then exchange letters based on the phonemes(sounds) we hear using word ladders. Example: cat β‘οΈ bat β‘οΈ bit β‘οΈ sit β‘οΈ sip β‘οΈ sap
Our word ladders are always based on new sounds or word patterns we are learning about, depending on where we are in our learning!
In our writing this week, we continued working on ideas we can write about. We read the book, The Girl and the Bicycle, by Mark Pett and talked about special things in our lives we can write about. We shared ideas with partners and added them onto our sheets we will keep in our writing folders, in case we ever need ideas!
In social studies, we are continue to learn about traditions. We learned about birthday traditions around the world.
We finished up our weather windows this week! I forgot to take pictures of them all completed. You'll have to check them out when you come for parent conferences, as they are all hanging in the classroom!
