I wanted to let you know that the kids and I received our iPad mini!  Thank you so much for voting for our class project!  We appreciate you, Sonic, and Limeades for Learning for helping with this grant!!!

Reading:  We will be learning to use inferencing clues to understand what we are reading.  The students will be helping create some clues using nouns, verbs, and adjectives and then see if another class can solve the mystery word by using inferencing clues.

Spelling:  We will not have a spelling test this week.  We will play games to review our learned spelling words.

Writing:  We will be learning to read and write long “e” words.  The students will also listen to a cute story called Spookley the Square Pumpkin.  We will discuss the sequence of the story from beginning, middle, and end.  The students will plan their own story that is a “text to text” connection with Spookley.  Spookley will help us learn a great lesson.  I hope the “pumpkin” in their story will help us learn a great lesson, too!

Math:  We will be finishing our unit in Geometry.  The students will take an assessment on Friday.  This will help me assess their understanding of the vocabulary of solid figures and plane shapes.  We will also assess their understanding of how to create solid figures.  We discuss story problems and computation in math daily.

Science:  We will be learning to research animals and answer questions about the information we learned.  We will also be learning about the life cycle of a pumpkin.

This week in writing will be discussing sequencing.  We will read books and discuss the beginning, middle, and end.  We will also be sequencing events and things that we make. I hope that this understanding will also be applied to our reading.  We want to learn how to retell main events in sequence order.

During reading time we will be learning about the different long a combinations.  These include -a consonant e, -ay, -ai, and -eigh,   We will make charts and write them around the room for future resources.  I also will be watching to see if they apply this spelling during their writing time.

In math we are still learning about attributes of shapes and solid figures.  We are learning the vocabulary of these math terms and writing riddles to better understand shapes in our world.

Spelling Words:  find, may, use, way, water.  We will have our Spelling Review on Friday.
Sometimes our spelling reviews will be on different days, but I will let you know ahead of time.

We are observing a pumpkin and applying what we have learned about adjectives to describe the pumpkin.  We will also apply math and science skills during our pumpkin observation time.
