Week 12 beginning of 3rd 6 weeks

Wow!  Can you believe we are beginning the 3rd 6 weeks of the school year?  That means we are quickly approaching our half way period:)

CBA's went well last week and we have looked at data and learned a lot about our children.  We look forward to sharing the information with you in parent conferences the 14th-16th of Nov.  Please be sure you have signed and returned conference letter schedules to your child's teacher:)

This week in learning:

Reading:  We are beginning to focus in on Literary non-fiction.  These are stories that are non-fiction but also contain certain elements like fiction such as characters, setting, and events.

Spelling:  Words that end in the /k/ sound spelled k, ke, or ck
pack   check   pickle   sock   asking   silk   honk   pork   poke   flake   alike   spoke

Math:  We are beginning probability.  Is something certain, less likely, more likely to happen

Science:  We are studying the Water Cycle of our Earth

Social Studies:  The New World and how the Native Americans felt about the explorers

Grammar:  Pronouns

Writing:  We are writing our own biographies over various people

As always thank you for your support
