During November, our continued focus for reading is still fluency and comprehension. For language arts, our focus carries a variety of subjects such as; verbs, word ending, plurals, word parts or syllables, compound words and the learning of many more "secret stories." Ask your children about some of the secret stories they've learned. They can tell you all about them.
During math, we will continue working on number sense. Tens and Ones is the focus, as well as the following: patterning, skip counting, before and after and more on adding and subtracting. PLEASE work with your children at home on addition facts. I would like to start taking "timed" tests once we return from vacation in January.
Social Studies will be more on maps and globes, more in depth knowledge on landforms, as well as Thomas Jefferson, Sacagawea and Lewis and Clark.
As you can see, we do have a full plate for a short month. I'm excited to work with them this month and expect to see many happy, happy faces showing me all that they know!
Enjoy your Thanksgiving with your family!
Mrs. Kastner
