This week will follow as busy also with Pumpkin math, academic activities that have a fall/Halloween theme, the start of our German language enrichment and the 50th day of school!
In math, we will begin learning about 3 dimensional shapes this week. We will compare them to 2D shapes and discuss what we notice. Are there similarities? Are there differences?
In language arts, we will read stories to focus on character's actions and the reasons for their actions. We will also be working on retelling stories and making predictions. In writing, we are going to continue our work with phonics and handwriting. We will also be writing about what we have learned in the first 50 days of school. We read the poem Five Little Pumpkins today and illustrated it. We are all very excited that we will have spooky stories in the library tomorrow afternoon! The library has been decorated and it looks awesome!
In science, we are continuing our unit on magnets. Please focus on the words "magnetic" and "nonmagnetic" with your child to help them understand that vocabulary. The students had a great time exploring things that were magnetic and nonmagnetic in our classroom last week.
In social studies, we have continued to discuss cultures that shape our community. We read Too Many Tamales and learned about the Mexican culture. Students had the opportunity to try a taste of a tamale. Some students tried and enjoyed the taste and some students did not want to try. It can be hard to try new things.
We all had a great time at our Canyon Creek Elementary 20th birthday assembly and celebration last Friday morning!
The Monkeys were excited to learn all about our superstar student, Riaan, last week! We heard about his life and interests!
This week we will learn all about our new superstar student, Anakin.
