I hope everyone had a wonderful & restful Thanksgiving. I was so glad to be able to go home to visit
my family. We went to Granbury to watch
Beauty and the Beast at their gorgeous Opera House. It was so good!
I will be doing middle of the year reading assessments again until
we get out for Winter break.

This week in Reading and Writing Workshop...
We will begin an exciting new unit! We will travel to far off lands. We will meet kings, queens, princes and
princesses. We will come across some
wicked witches and cunning little men, and we might even slay a giant! We will be reading Fairy Tales! We will talk about how Fairy Tales are
fiction, but they have very important elements that make them different. We will read many different Fairy Tales, and we
will check to see which elements each story has.
This week in Math workshop...
This week we will be learning about 2-D shapes. We will identify and sort the different 2-D
shapes. We will analyze and compare them
as well. We will discuss how we can put
different shapes together to make new shapes, and we will think about where we
can find 2-D shapes in our real world.
This week in Science...
We will be learning about rocks, soil, and bodies of water. We will discuss how the natural world
includes rocks, soil and water that can be observed in cycles, patterns and
systems. We will observe, compare,
describe and sort different types of soil. We will identify and describe a
variety of natural bodies of water, such as lakes, rivers, streams, and oceans.
We will also gather evidence of how rocks, soil and water help to make useful
products.
This week in Social Studies...
We will be learning about timelines and calendars. We will discuss how we use timelines and
calendars in our everyday lives and how we can learn about someone else’s life
as well.
Our Life Skill of the week is Flexibility! Flexibility is when
you are willing to alter plans when necessary.
We will talk as a class about times that we have been flexible at school
and at home.
That's all for now! Have a great week!
