It was really great to meet with families last week to discuss the children's progress. I had a couple of questions about the 5 snap words that the kids get each week. They started out getting a paper bracelet, however it didn't take long for some to take it off and loose it and not make it home. The expectation in class is that they spell them correctly in their writing and read them in a snap. I will send home the first 50 words. We are doing 40-45 this week and 45- 50 next week. Thanks for your help! The spelling words can be found on Spelling City.
In Math we continue to work on composing and decomposing numbers, simple addition and subtraction (soon) and we composing and labeling simple patterns. In December we look at non standard measurement.
In science we will begin to look at living things; plants and animals (including people)
their basic needs, how they behave and experience the world through their five senses.
Writing is done on a daily basis, journal writing, story writing, author study and seasonal writing through December. We will cover procedural writing and writing about personal connections to reading.

They continue to read daily their leveled books and others of interest and are learning word attack strategies to use while reading independently. A reminder that reading is about thinking about what is read and not just being able to sound out a word. Comprehension is at the core.
Have a great week!
