Week of November 6, 2017

 

       This will be another short week.  The children will be doing a lot to get ready for their Thanksgiving feast and their visit to the Nashville Children's Theater.
        Below are the skills that we will be working on this week:

• Identifying, decoding, and reading words with long /i/ silent e words
• Sequencing stories:  Identifying and writing what happened first, next, then, and finally in a story.
• Review plurals
• Read the stories "Squanto and the Indians" and "The Big Yuca Plant". The children will retell and rewrite the stories in sequence.
• Word Problems (addition and subtractions)
• Geometry shapes
• Mixed addition and subtraction facts
• The children will continue to learn about the Indians and the Pilgrims
• Write letters to our pen-pals at Whitsitt Elementary.

WEEKLY SPELLING WORDS:  

         like, spike, ride, hide, bike, mine, shine, nine, fire, spine

         Bonus Words:  Pilgrims - Indians

      

  The children will take part in the first grade service project.  They will be writing letters to their pen pal beginning this week.  The children will be able to visit their pen-pal's at Whitsitt Elementary on December 7th at 9:00.  I am asking all of the children to donate $3.00.  This will allow the children to purchase books, crayons, and other items for their pen-pal.  Your child may bring this to school next week.  Parents are invited to go with the children to Whitsitt Elementary.  More information will be sent home later.
