Busy Week!

Hello Everyone!

No class blogger today as we had a birthday party to end the day (Happy Birthday Philip!).  We missed the last Thursday and Friday blog posts, so I will get you caught up!

Math-We finished up our last bit of work with story problems with known numbers and unknown numbers and have begun exploring the concept of even and odd numbers.  Today we talked about pairing students in our class and making teams with a given number of students and if it would work to even out. We will continue with this concept tomorrow!

Shared Reading-We officially ended our focus on making connections and building our schema last week and tomorrow we will begin making inferences and will continue to do so through December.  Just as a quick explanation-inferences are when you, "take your background knowledge and the clues from the text, you put them together and you just infer!".  We will learn this chant tomorrow and drill it into our brains over the course of the next month to go along with all of the different stories to teach inferencing and activities we complete, so stay tuned!

Social Studies-Continuing our work with maps...tomorrow we will focus on birdseye view and the compass rose!

Writing-tomorrow we will be working on writing things that we are thankful for (as Thanksgiving is soon approaching).  Look for a big turkey in the hallway on Thursday displaying our feathers of thanks! :)

A few reminders:
-Early Out this Wednesday at 1:40pm
-Conferences Thursday November 15th 4-8 (Check your scheduled time!)
-Early Out Monday November 19th 1:40pm, Conferences 2-6
-Book Fair at Starry Thursday (Nov. 15th) and Monday (Nov. 19th)
-NO SCHOOL next Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday! :)

Please make sure your child is coming to school with an actual (warm) coat-and hats/mittens.  Not just a sweatshirt.  It has become much too cold for just sweatshirts.  If you need assistance purchasing a winter coat, please feel free to contact me or any other member of the Starry staff. :)  Brrrrrrrrr!

Thanks for stopping by!
Mrs. Clough
