Week 6

  Dear Parents,

        I hope you all had a great weekend with your family and friends. I sure did! It made for a very quick week this week. We have begun adding two and three numbers. We are learning to make a ten to make adding easier. We had lots of fun using counters and ten frames to do addition. 

        In writing we learned about using more tools to help us write like a word wall or a dictionary. We even had a quick lesson about how to put our spelling words in ABC order. This helped us understand how to find words in a dictionary. We began Speed week where we will go through the writing process in five short lesson. We began with prewriting. We will be writing a narrative of what we do in the fall.

         In reading this week our focus was on Central idea. We read The Dogs of Bedlam Farm. We discussed the topic, found details and came up with the central idea together. Later in the week we had a chance to read a short passage and show how we could find the topic, the details and the central idea.

         In social studies we learned about Patriots Day and wrote a poem about peace. 

          In science our focus has been on reading about, writing about, and sorting properties of matter. Observing objects and deciding how we could sort them led to very interesting conversations! We have some budding scientists in the room!
