Happy Friday!  We had a fun Friday today.  The costumes looked wonderful, and Declan and his mom sent in cute Halloween treat bags.  We also got to do math with candy corn. This week in phonics we worked on the magic “e” and next week we will work on syllable types.  In reading we worked on monster book and retelling and adjectives.  For writing we wrote our own informational pieces.  In math we worked on subtraction within 20 and next week will work on place value numbers 20 to 120.   In science we are working on sound with a STEM project: Rock Band.  The students have worked hard on writing their songs and making their instruments.  We hope to make our music videos on Wednesday.  If you have not done so already check out the drama stick puppets videos on Seesaw.

Next week our red words: he, look, does & were.  Please have your child practice them for the test next Friday.

For this week in phonics we worked on -ng and – nk endings. Next week we are working on the magic e and our red words are: here, time, take, & same. In reading we worked on nonfiction books and learned a lot about owls. We should be expert on owls, and you will be able to see how much your child knows when they bring home their owl books. We will continue to work on informational pieces but this upcoming week the students will be doing their own research from books they picked out from the learning commons. In math we worked on addition to 20 and next week we will be working on subtraction within 20 along with our daily word problems. In science we are moving into sound and will be making our own instruments to make a rock band.
