The class has done a wonderful job on their Saint Portraits. We worked with Mrs. Lapolito to draw our saints and paint them with watercolors! I will post a Smilebox with the paintings! I am sure that you will agree that they are adorable!
SUPERKIDS: We are starting unit 5. We are learning how to read and spell words with ed and ing endings. We know that sometimes we have to double consonants before adding endings, and sometimes we do not. We are learning to check how many consonants follow the vowels in words. For example, the word work would be working with the ing ending. The reason is that there are consonants following the vowel. The word sit would need a double t when adding the ing ending. Sitting has "tt" because there is only one consonant after the vowel. Memory words for this unit are: there, from, to, be, or, we!
Math: In class we are starting fact practice and making flash cards. We have been enoying dice addition games on the smartboard as well as using pattern blocks. We are also working on sequencing, measuring weight, sorting, and skip counting by 2,3,4,5, and even 6!
Science: In class we are starting a new unit about trees and plants. Important words for the unit are: deciduous, seasons, conifer, fruit, sed, cone, seedling, sapling, evergreen, woody stems, broad leaves, evergreen and needles.
Social Studies: We are preparing for our Veterans' Day Program on 11/10. We are making cards for the Veterans and learning patriotic songs. We have also been learning about needs and wants, goods and services, and basic needs.
Religion: We are wrapping our first section of our religion book. We have been reviewing Caring and Sharing,Church Decorations, Ministries, and vocabulary review.
Many thanks to all of the families who helped to make Pumpkin Day so fun! We also had a nice All Saints' Day celebration. Thank you for sending in the goodies!
