Weekly Overview - Nov. 21-22

HERE'S WHAT'S HAPPENING IN ROOM 14......NOVEMBER 21-22

Dear Parents: 

Thank you to those of you who were able to support the Book Fair and get to Barnes & Noble last Thursday and also come to Armadillos Willy’s and the Multicultural Fair! We are also very proud of our Millikin students for earning approximately $675 toward the purchase of hand and foot-warmers for our soldiers. Thank you for your generosity! After Thanksgiving students will have another opportunity to practice the joy of giving as we raise money for our adopted family for Family-to-Family. Ana’s mom has sent out information about this and I hope that we can once again reach out to others in need. Thank you!!

LANGUAGE ARTS:

Phonograms/Printing: We will do a phonogram review.

Reading: We will listen to different versions of the classic story, “The Little Red Hen” and then we will do some comparing and contrasting. The students will write their own simplified versions.

MATH: There will be a related facts quiz on Monday and then the students will play a partner game to practice subtraction.

SOCIAL STUDIES: We will continue to discuss important people from the past as we explore the question, “Who Came Before Us?”.

SCIENCE: Weather permitting, we will explore some characteristics of air. Ask your child about the fun experiment they did last week with the vial, the paper towel and a basin of water. They should be able to tell you that they learned that air takes up space and can be trapped and let out.

HOMEWORK: There is no spelling this week. The students will have a reading coupon for homework on Monday.
