Week of November 1 AND November 8

I apologize for being behind YET again!  Last week we studied the letter Nn and the color word pink.  We worked on the sight word "can" and practiced numbers 8 and 9.

This week we will be working on the letter Gg.  I refer to lowercase "g" as a "basement" letter because it is permitted to go below the red base line in writing.  We have been working hard to improve our writing skills including paying more attention to the top line, mid line and baseline.  This week we will be completing our 1st Quarter (yep- we're behind on that, too!) Writing Sample.  This is a fantastic way for us to monitor our writing progress each grading period. 
Our color word this week is gray (to go along with G!) and we will be introducing the sight word "said". 
For math we will work on Goldfish Math- reviewing the numbers 0-10 with the use of delicious (and G appropriate!) goldfish crackers. 
As there is no school this Friday homework will be due on Thursday.
We will also be meeting with our 5th grade Math Mates this week on Tuesday to complete pumpkin math.  We will be measuring and weighing our mini-pumpkins.  We will also count the number of stripes and graph all of our pumpkin data. 
Have a great week!
