Religion: We are learning about the Holy Trinity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We learned that they are a three in one representation of GOD! We practiced the sign of the cross to help remember our belief as Catholics in the Holy Trinity. We have also practiced what to do at mass and how to be active and participate as full as possible.
Math: We are working on addition strategies, we are practicing adding numbers to 20! Keep working on your math facts. Time tests will begin on Monday! Be ready!
Social Studies: We talked about ways to be part of a community and how to help our community out when it is in need. Later, we will be learning about the important places in Jackson (our community) as well as building a community! Any small boxes like crackers or cereal would be appreciated! Thank you!
Science: We just started talking about plants. We will have a field trip for this unit on October 8. We are going to a pumpkin patch and each child will be able to bring home a pumpkin!
Writing: We are making a class book, which will be sent home to each of your homes in an envelope. Just sign the envelope and return to school the next day. We want to make sure every family gets a chance to see the book. It is based on the book, If Dogs Were Dinosaurs where the author made big things in the world really small and small things become enormous. For example, If the earth were as small as a basketball, Martians could slam dunk in the universe! Each student came up with their own version and illustrated their page. Some will make you laugh!
Reading: The logs will be due on Friday. I expect 10-15 minutes each day Or MORE!!! I will not stop you from reading! The strategy we have been working on this week is visualizing, using our senses to help us make a mind movie of what is going on in the story. We are also reading Henry and Mudge and answering comprehension questions.
Great job selling those magazines! Our class earned Popsicles, which we will enjoy tomorrow! : )
Don't forget to send in your party money of $4 by September 30!
Book Orders are due on Friday! You can order books online by visiting: www.scholastic.com/bookclubs our code is GQFFT. This is a one time code and you will create your own username and password. Every book order you can sign in using your own name and password!
We plan on finishing the end of the week strong! I also plan on attending the PTO meeting in regards to some funding for the wireless mice to increase student involvement and engagement. So exciting!
