Dear Family,
November 18, 2019
Tomorrow we
have our class picture taken. If you would like a copy, they are $10.95. Checks
may be made out to Lifetouch. These must be purchased tomorrow morning.
Remember,
you can check grades on iNow. If you’ve misplaced your log-in information,
Sherri McClendon in the office can help you.
Our story
this week is A New Life for Mei. Vocabulary and spelling words came home
Friday. We will learn about adding -ed and -ing to words and review abstract
nouns. I love how the skills in Open Court spiral. It’s not a “once and done”!
In math, we
will learn to add two digit numbers; estimate when adding; drawing and
measuring to the half inch (if you don’t have a ruler at home with centimeters
and inches, you may need one); multiplying by 7; locating and naming points on
a number line; estimating capacity; and drawing a bar graph. We’ve been
discussing cups, pints, quarts, half-gallons, and gallons. This would be a
great conversation when you’re in the kitchen or grocery store! You’ll be surprised
how much they know!
Speaking of
surprises….. they’re learning to read cursive writing. Sooo, be aware of
writing surprises, etc. in cursive! And I’m sure you’ve already learned they
can understand anything you spell. (Moms, get a tissue. They are growing up.)
Possessives
are still a little tricky. We’re learning to find the hints in sentences to
decide whether a word is plural or not before we make it a possessive. Example:
“The many birds’ nests were full of twigs.” MANY lets us
know it’s more than one bird.
Our pom-pom
squad will not cheer December 3 due to the Christmas parade downtown. No
practice Dec. 2.
Our lunchroom
needs a head count for our feast Tuesday, November 26. Thank to those who sent
in money today or regretted.
Loving
and Teaching Yours, Miss Suzann
