What Are We Learning?

Language Arts / Reading:

 Next week's spelling rule:  Adding "ed" to the end of a word to make it past tense.  There are 3 different rules to follow in this pattern. 

We are continuing with non-fiction books during Reader's Workshop.  We are learning strategies to help us be fluent while retaining comprehension of our non-fiction books.  We enjoy sharing our non-fiction books with our reading partner.  There is so much to learn!

Social Studies:  

In Social Studies, we are going to compare and contrast the things of today and long ago. We are going to research and write about the importance of Veteran's Day.

Math: 

We will continue to apply basic fact strategies to add and subtract within 20, including making 10 and decomposing a number leading to a 10.
Math Take Home Activity: 
Please continue to practice math facts and counting backwards from 120 with your children at home.

Science: 

Learners will begin our unit on forces that cause objects to move.
