November 9-13, 2015

Wednesday, November 11th is Veterans Day! For all the brave men and women who have served in military, we say thank you! You are our heroes!

Tomorrow is Library day!  Don’t forget to send your child’s library book with them tomorrow!

This week:
READING
We will continue learning about non-fiction/expository texts.  We will be reading different nonfiction texts about spiders.  We will be recording facts that we learned by reading the different texts.  We will also be focusing on the main idea, supporting details, and author’s purpose.

WRITING
We will continue writing facts about topics of interest.  We will be focusing on the difference between fact and opinion. As we write, we make sure we go over the writing conventions: Starting with capital letters, forming the letters correctly, leave one finger space between the words, write sentences with corrects grammar and structure and put
 punctuation (periods, exclamation points or question marks) at the end of our sentences.

MATH
This week we will start subtraction.
 Subtraction names a missing part by taking away, removing or comparing to find a difference. We will use concrete and pictorial models including ten-frames, math racks, Base Ten blocks and other manipulatives to represent word problem situations involving separating or comparing sets of whole numbers up to 20 where the unknown may be start, change, or result of separating problems.

SCIENCE
We will continue learning about energy.
 We will explore the objects around us and observe different kinds of energy that these objects use or produce.  We will discuss the importance of energy and saving energy.
