Reading

Math

We finished our Silly Stories Theme.

Before starting the next theme, we learned about making connections to the text we read. We discussed how Text to Self connections and Text to Text connections help readers gain a deeper understanding of the text. The children then practiced making connections in their own reading.

Students have been working on addition and subtraction facts using fact families, games, and word problems.

Students are also working on activities to build their number sense. We have been comparing numbers and deciding if they are greater than (>), less than (<), or equal (=) to each other.

We are working on combination problems during problem solving.

On Monday, members of the CLS Fire Department visited our school. This year’s fire safety theme was Practice Your Escape Plan. The firefighters encouraged students to work with their families to develop a fire escape plan with two exits for each room.

We are taking a brief break from nutrition to do a book inquiry about penguins. In November we will begin using the Internet to watch the progress of several Adelie penguin nests on Ross Island, Antarctica.

We need your help!!!

Many hands make light work (and a fun Halloween party)!

Mrs. Iverson and Mrs. Busky are planning our class Halloween party. They will be at school on Wednesday coordinating the party. If you are interested in helping out, out please contact Mrs. Iverson or Mrs. Busky. We are looking for paper goods and goodies for the party. The children will appreciate and enjoy your efforts.
