I hope everyone is excited for this brief two day week! We are going to have so much fun this week with our ancient Egypt party on Monday and fall themed activities on Tuesday.
Here is what to expect:
Literature: This week, we will read chapter 3, “Cookies” from Frog and Toad Together. We will discuss the importance of having will power and determination, and we will also put our own will power to the test!
Spalding: There will not be a spelling test this week, due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Instead, please practice your phonograms. We will take a graded WPR (written phonogram review) on Tuesday in class.
Writing: copy work and narration exercises from The Railway Children
Grammar: We will use our question and answer flow to classify and build sentences
History: This week will be a lot of fun with our Egyptian Party, which is the culminating event for our Egyptian Unit. Tuesday we will have a variety of Thanksgiving learning activities and read a book about the history of the Pilgrims and some of their adventures in the New World.
Math: This week we will finish up our shapes unit by reviewing how to identify and categorize 2D shapes as well as put them into a pattern. We will take our Unit 7 test on Monday. On Tuesday, we will take our units 1-6 cumulative test only after reviewing how to add and subtract within 20 and how to count up and down within 20. We will show courage and rise to the challenge of having two tests!
Have a very happy thanksgiving! There will be an optional thanksgiving work packet sent home on Tuesday but besides that there is no homework, please enjoy some rest and relaxation.
