Upcoming Events for November 21-22nd

Learning Objectives

• Reading: We will be reading fictional stories and identifying story elements (characters, setting, plot, problem, solution). We will also read nonfiction texts to learn about the first Thanksgiving. 
• Writing: We will write fictional stories about how to stuff a turkey.  We are working on writing sentences with capital letters, spaces between words, and ending marks. I encourage students to be fearless spellers. This means they sound out unknown words or look to the Word Wall for assistance. 
• Math: We will continue discussing place value. Students will learn about tens and ones within numbers, how to add ten, and how teen numbers are made up of 1 ten and extra ones.  
• Social Studies: Students will learn about the first Thanksgiving. 
• Character:  Anti-Bullying lessons

NO HOMEWORK!!! Enjoy the time with your families!
