Hello B1 Families,
ANNOUNCEMENTS
See's Candy Fundraiser: Our See's candy fundraiser begins this week. See's candy makes a great gift for friends, family members, and neighbors during the holiday season. Orders are due Friday, December 5th.
Scholastic Book Fair: The annual book fair has arrived. Our class will be visiting the book fair on Tuesday, November 18th. If you haven't already, I recommend setting up an e-wallet for your child to shop. Otherwise you can send money to school with your child in an envelope or Ziploc bag with their name.
Fall Break: There is no school November 24th-November 28th. Students will return to school December 1st.
OUR WEEK AT A GLANCE
Math: This week, students will continue working in Module 3. We will review and have a study guide on Wednesday. Then on Thursday students will take a test on lessons 2-6. Students will take their multiplication test on Friday. Your child should be practicing their multiplication every evening for at least 10 minutes.
Reader's Workshop: Students will start unit 4 this week called Comparing Points of View. Our focus will be answering the essential question: What makes people view the same experience in different ways? We will also be reading about the history of Thanksgiving and today. We will answer comprehension questions on the reading that we do.
Writer's Workshop: This week students will write a fall leaf narrative. Students will imagine that they are a leaf waiting to fall off their tree. This will be our final fall themed writing.
Social Studies: Students will continue with Week 20 in our Studies Weekly curriculum. Week 20 teaches students about timelines. Students will learn about chronological order and what the past, present, and future means. We will also discuss the calendar and how time is represented.
Science: Students continue to observe the traits of closely related organisms: four species of bears. Students analyze data about the traits of a particular bear, comparing the bear's traits with the traits of other bears.
P.E.: Please dress appropriately on Monday and Friday for P.E/Dance this week.
