We had soooo much fun today. From 9 to 10 was our pumpkin math activities. The kids LOVED predicting circumference, diameter, weight, and number of seeds. Then... they got to check their predictions! We had some messy hands, but some VERY accurate amounts of seeds! Big thanks to Mr. McCown for his help with cutting the pumpkins!
After our pumpkin math we celebrated Fall with some yummy treats! Thanks so much to Meena Bassan for pulling everything together. And.. thanks to all who contributed - the kids had a blast (not sure if they ate any of their lunch!).
ENJOY THESE PICTURES!
Now for the serious stuff:
LANGUAGE ARTS: We're continuing our Short Story unit with another week of Folktales. We've been talking about character traits - how characters act and why.
MATH: We just took our Unit 2 assessment and will begin Unit 3 - Collections and Travel Stories - on Tuesday. A big focus in this unit will be larger numbers. I'm also focusing on math facts - addition and subtraction. Look for a letter coming home.
SCIENCE: We've been trying to identify unknown solids (white powders). We've added water and observed each powder. Now we'll start adding other things to see if we can observe differences.
WRITING - Putting our writing in order is our focus.
CURSIVE: over curve letters are next - a's and d's will be next week.
Please remember that there is no school on Monday. Tuesday, November 3rd will be the first day of Term 2. Teachers will be spending Monday entering grades on the computer.
As always, thanks for checking backpacks, agendas, take-home folders, and intialing everything! You're great!
Have a great, long weekend and most of all... BE SAFE!
