It's Carnival week! There are still many things that are needed for the Carnival to be successful. One of which is name brand two liter sodas. If you would like to donate those please send them with your child and I will make sure the PTA gets them! These updates are sent out via E-news so if you have not signed up for E-news please do so at the following address http://www.roundrockisd.org/index.aspx?page=3397. I hope to see everyone at the Carnival on Saturday!
Thank you to all of the parents who met us on our Field Trip. The students LOVED the 3-D IMAX! It was so fun to see them grabbing at the animals on the screen and laughing and sometimes even screaming in delight when things popped out at them!
We are going to begin Friday Morning Readers in our class next week. If you are interested in coming in to read to the class please e-mail me to schedule your Friday. It would also be fun if you choose the story to read to the class and explained why it is a good story or maybe even why it's your favorite!
Principal's Pride this week is Xavier M.!
This week in Reading...
Our theme is Night time Animals. We will be learning about Opossums, Raccoons, Bats, and Owls. We've also discussed the term nocturnal. Take home readers will come home today and be returned in their bags on Thursday. Enjoy reading with your child. We will also be learning about Fables during our Shared reading time. This week we will read It's Mine by Leo Leoni, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, North Wind and Sun, The Lion and the Mouse and The Dog and his reflection. We have some great activities planned to help us learn the features of a fable.
This week in Writing...
We will begin learning about Organization. We will read The Three Little Pigs and variations on the story to help us learn how to write a good beginning, middle and end to our stories.
Word Work words: what, we, him, no, so
Spelling words: this, when, with, that, white, bath
Sound Rule: "H" friend words: ch, sh, wh, th
Challenge words: whistle, resource
In Math...
We are beginning our new unit on Number Sense and Patterning. Today we began by reading Up All Night Counting by Robin Koontz and we discussed the Night Time Animals we saw in the book. Then we practiced making patterns with those animals and naming patterns. (i.e. ABBA, ABAB, ABCA) We will continue learning about patterns this week and begin learning about place value next week.
In Social Studies...
We will begin discussing weather. We will record the weather in our Science Notebooks all week and discuss different regions of the globe and what kinds of weather they have. We will also discuss natural resources and how they help us in our community.
Have a great week!
