This week:
READING
We will continue learning about non-fiction/expository texts. Since we are getting closer to Thanksgiving, we will focus on Thanksgiving books for the next two weeks. Strong readers activate their prior knowledge or think about what they already know when they read a non-fiction. They also ask questions, think about author's purpose and identify important facts. And in addition to all these, strong readers confirm things that they thought they knew and clear any misconceptions. We will practice doing all these things as we learn about this important tradition: Thanksgiving.
WRITING
As we learn about the story of Thanksgiving, we will record the information in our own words so we could teach others about history and this important tradition. We will go back to the time of pilgrims, who they were and where they came from. We will write about the Mayflower ship, the Plymouth Rock, and the Native Americans. As we write, we make sure we go over the writing conventions: Starting with capital letters, forming the letters correctly, leave one finger space between the words, write sentences with corrects grammar and structure and put punctuation (periods, exclamation points or question marks) at the end of our sentences.

MATH
This week we will start the subtraction. Subtraction names a missing part by taking away, removing or comparing to find a difference. We will use concrete and pictorial models including ten-frames, math racks, Base Ten blocks and other manipulatives to represent word problem situations involving separating or comparing sets of whole numbers up to 20 where the unknown may be start, change, or result of separating problems.

SCIENCE
We will continue learning about energy. We will explore the objects around us and observe different kinds of energy that these objects use or produce. We will discuss the importance of energy and saving energy. Last week we made a pic collage using PicCollage Kids to show different types of energy around our school. We are also experimenting with Google Classroom to share our digital products and collaborate.

Social Studies
Today we read about a Hindu celebration called Diwali. PebbleGo, along with the friends in our class, taught us about their celebration that starts Wednesday. We compared Diwali to other traditional celebrations that are celebrated by students in our class. The students who celebrate Diwali were so excited to teach us about their family's traditions. We also listed to a story on our Reading Rainbow Skybrary app called The Diwali Gift.
