READING – Our essential question is, “Why do we have rules at school?” To help us answer this question we will read and discuss the following stories, Friends at School, How Do Dinosaurs Go to School? My School Bus, We Go to School and I Like. In addtion, the students will read the high frequency word, “like,” identify beginning sounds that are the same, review the letters, P-p, Q-q, R-r, S-s, and T-t, learn to recognize the author’s purpose, identify nouns for places, use antonyms, (words that are opposites), makes inferences and predictions, pause for punctuation, and practice writing their names correctly. You can help by discussing the importance of rules and the rules you have at home. Continue to read with your child at home and have your child point to the words “I” and “like” if they appear in the material you are reading together.
MATH – We have a Chapter 1 Math test on Tuesday, 10/4. Continue to review the packet sent home on Friday. We’ll also begin Chapter 2 this week.The essential question for this chapter is, “How can building and comparing sets help you compare numbers?” We’ll use the terms, “same number, greater than, less than or fewer than, and compare”, to help us match, count and compare given sets of objects.
RELIGION – The class will discuss how Adam and Eve sinned, our own sinfulness, and God’s continued love and forgiveness.
SCIENCE – Our topics are, changes in Fall and identifying living and non – living things.
SOCIAL STUDIES – We’ll begin to discuss the reason for celebrating Columbus Day.
