Reading- This week in reading groups we will be reviewing verbs, and introducing possessives (as the grammar focus). When it comes to reading, we will look at text features in regards to cause/effect, sequence, and problem/solution. Our Words Their Way sorts for the week will focus on (group 2 & 3) -dge, -ge, -r, l, n +ge (example, lodge) and (group 4) Vowel Consonant (base word) doubling+ing, Vowel Consonant Connsonant +ing (examples-swimming, resting)
Science- We are studying pollution and the affects it has on the environment.
WOW! What a week! We had iPad U on Tuesday which was great. Thanks to all the wonderful parent volunteers who came out to help us! (Amy Brown, Gina Young, Billy Harrison, Jureen Oddo) In addition, we had Junior Achievement today in which a representative from UPS came to our classroom and taught us about economy. We learned about a city and the different types of buildings in it, how money is deposited and withdrawn from a bank account, and a little bit about how to budget. We were also able to have Mrs. Young, and Mrs. Brown come in and do a few wonderful Thanksgiving Day crafts with the kiddos. It's been a blast! I will try to send out a link for you to see that once we are able to save all the presentations.
