Congratulations to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade wing for collecting the most food during the Student Council Food Drive!!! Our entire school collected 670 items, which is fantastic! As a reward for being the wing to bring in the most food, we won a free dress-down day next Monday, November 25th. Yay!!!
Today in computers we introduced a new program called www.sumdog.com to our class. It's a program to help build math and reading skills, and the kids really enjoyed it. Speaking of math and reading, this week in math we are learning about identifying the tens and ones position of a 2 digit number, identifying halves, fourths, and eighths of a whole, we'll introduce measuring items using 1 inch tile squares, and we'll start learning how to name fractional parts of a whole (1/4, 1/2, 1/8). Our math test is on Thursday with a practice test on Wednesday.
In Language Arts and Reading we're starting to edit our writings, we're talking about possessive nouns (Jessie's cat, the dog's bowl), and we're learning how to tell the different points of view of characters in fiction books. Also our spelling test (long A sound) is on Friday.
The First Thanksgiving is the topic in Social Studies right now. Last week we talked about the Pilgrims' voyage and this week we're talking about the differences in food, housing, and daily living of the Indians and the Pilgrims. We're finishing up a unit on atmosphere in Science.
Dress warm!
