I hope you had a great week!  It is hard to believe we just have a week and we are off for Thanksgiving break!  I hope you enjoy the extra family time!
Here is our week of learning at a glance:
Reading/ Writing Workshop-    We will begin our author study.  This week we will focus on  Robert Munsch.  We will look at several of his pieces and study what we notice in all of his books. ( his stories are silly and funny, he uses real children he has met in his texts, he uses sound words (onomatopoeia) and he stretches out his words).    In writing, we will try to incorporate Robert Munsch's style in our writing.

Science/ Social Studies-  This week we will begin our unit on rocks.  We will explore and classify rocks based on their properties.  We will also spend a few days this week discussing the First Thanksgiving.
Math-   We will  begin our unit on problem solving.  We will focus on two digit addition and subtraction word problems. This week would be a great week to focus on extra adding and subtracting practice such as 45-24 or 38+15=.

Class Celebrations: This week I was looking for someone to nominate for the Incredible Shot.   The trait I was looking for was someone who  "Owns their own actions." This person takes care of their own actions. belongings, and words.    The person who was Incredible this week was  Cameron!  He will be on K-I-O-T news to earn the chance to make the Incredible Shot!  Zaiden  lost a tooth this week! Congratulations!  
Thanks for all you do to support our learning!
