Reading/Language Arts- We will continue looking at text structure. We will shift our focus from compare/contrast, to cause/effect. We will also be using the suffixes -er, -or, and working on adverbs.
Science/Social Studies- We will begin learning about Lyndon B. Johnson this week and how he formed the Great Society. Did you know he was a teacher? :)
This past week we had the pleasure of hearing a story teller from the Atlanta Cultural Arts program tell us folktales and fables from Africa. He was very engaging. When we come back from break we will have another cultural arts program in which we learn about pollution and how to take care of our environment.
Thank you so much to Mrs. McQueeney for coming in today to be our mystery craft person. The chlidren LOVED the turkey craft and we had an exciting time doing this while having a fire drill. :) Even with messy painted hands, the kids did exactly what they know to do in a drill situation. :)
I hope you all have a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving! See you December 1st! (Where is the time going?!)
