A LOOK AT
OUR WEEK!
OUR WEEK!*Math: The following news is for Miss Carlstrom's math class only. Please look at your math teacher's blog for your child's math news. Thank you!
We are continuing the second half of chapter 1. We will be working on place value and money. Look for a place value game coming home for you to try out with your child.
Also, look for a note coming home about sending in coins for your child to use during math class. The money will be returned, but this gives the students a "hands-on" approach to using money. Soon we will be working with money, practicing how to give change, write, and count money. We will be working on how to count change in our “classroom store”. We will set up a Carlstrom Classroom store to have a "real world" experience using money and counting back change. Please see the list below if you’d like to donate any supplies to our classroom store. All candy should be the individual, wrapped candy you see in the stores for Halloween. Thank you in advance for your help!

*Skittles
*Starburst
*Tootise Rolls
*Twix
*Lollipops (any kind)
*Science: We finished up our body systems unit. We had a great time learning about our amazing body systems. We are going to be starting our next unit on health on Monday.
*Social Studies: We are working with map skills. We started exploring our world’s continents and oceans. We will have a graded review over the world's continents and oceans on Thursday. A study guide will be sent home on Tuesday. Your child will need to know the location and spelling of the continents and oceans. We will still continue to practice our directions.
*Spelling: Next week will be List 6: plural consonants + y words. (i.e. flies). Due to the shortened week there will be no pretest on Monday. The final test will be on Friday. Expect spelling homework on Wednesday night.
*Reading: We have finished reading The Chalkbox Kid and the comprehension journal. Chapters 5-9 in the journal were collected for a reading grade and the conventions (complete sentences, capital letters, end marks) will be taken for an English grade. We will work on summarizing the story and characterization next week. Your child will be given a vocabulary and comprehension review of the book on Thursday. They will not need to know the dictionary definition of the vocabulary word, but rather the context definition (or how it is used in the book). A list of the words and there "book" meaning will be sent home on Tuesday.
*English: We are continuing to work on descriptive writing. We are learning about similes, color words, and sensory words. Ask your child about their new crayon color and mystery object. We will be writing our paragraphs next week.
