Thunder Cake

We have had a super busy week. We have been learning about the seasons and types of weather. The students worked with partners to create season posters. We also drew pictures of different kids of weather. Today we listened to a thunderstorm and ready a book about a little girls afraid of thunder. Her grandma made thunder cake with her and she wasn't afraid anymore. We made thunder cake in class. It was delicious. Next week we will focus on types of precipitation.

In math we will be moving from graphing into numbers and place value. We will be showing numbers in many ways including using base ten blocks. Practicing counting by tens this weekend will really help!

We introduced 2 more activities in out Daily 5. We did words work and partner reading. The students loved both!

All of the students turned in their homework this week. Yippie! Just a few clarifications.... 1 spelling activity must be completed each day. The activities can be found in the front cover of their homework notebook. These activities will remain the same for the 9 weeks. Then we will trade them out. Their words can be found in their agenda in their GATOR book as well as on the top of the math sheet in their homework journal. They will have 10 new words for practice each week.

Open House

Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with me for Open House. I enjoyed talking with you and sharing what we do in our class. As always, if you have any questions please feel free to email me or write a note in your child's GATOR book.

This week we visited the Science Lab and reviewed the rules and practice with some tool. Coming up we will be working on weather tools. Please consider joining the Addison Foundation if you haven't already. They fund the Science Lab which the children really enjoy.







Many of your students said Friday was the best thing about school. On Fridays, we have Free Friday activities after morning work. Take a peek at what that looks like and you'll know why Friday's are the best!




Have a super weekend!
