We made snow today and it was so much fun! If parents want to make this at home, all you need to do is mix together conditioner and baking soda (we added some glitter). Shaving cream and baking soda also works. It feels cold like real snow and smells fresh.
Thank you to all the families who came to watch room 5 in the winter program! The students were so excited to see you all there. I hope these cute little elves have a fun and exciting winter break! See you in 3 weeks! P.S. No homework over break but students should be reading every day and practicing on Lexia and Dreambox when possible.

Week of November 28th:
In Language Arts, we worked on the long /a/ sound, using the silent "e" to identify that sound. For example, gate, late, came, etc. We began unit 3 on Literature and started by investigating the story Town Mouse, Country Mouse. We need to ask and answer questions about key details in a text, identify words or phrases in the story that suggest feelings or appeal to the senses, and compare and contrast the adventures and experiences of the characters in the story. In writing, we are continuing to work on investgating informational text and citing our evidence in the text. We have the district writing task coming up and will be practicing more next week while investigating in an informational story about reindeer. In math, we took our unit 5 assessment on telling and writing time to the hour. We also began unit 6 on developing addition and subtraction strategies. The focus will be on solving problems with unknown addends using properties of operations. Students will learn that addition and subtraction are inverse operations, and develop strategies for both. Specifically this week, we focused on understanding the commutative property of addition using the following key vocabulary: addends, addition, commutative property of addition, equal, equation, sum, and total. The holiday season is upon us and we have been sent a kindness elf, whom the students named Ruby. She watches over the students to see if they are completing acts of kindess and rewards them if so. This week, Cassandra, Josue, Miguel, and Chelsea were visted by Ruby. She helped the students practice sharing books, making someone feel else feel special, cleaning at home, and cleaning at school. Also, our PBIS social skill of the week was correcting others appropriately. 2 more weeks until winter break! |
