Due to the short week, we will not begin a new letter in Phonics. After Thanksgiving, we will learn the letter S as in smile, sun, and snake. Word List 4 will come home on Wednesday, November 23rd and will be tested on Friday, December 2nd. In Reading, we will begin Unit 3, Watch Me Change, and read the story Little Panda. This story will be finished the week after Thanksgiving. We will discuss comparing and contrasting. Students will also get a chance to watch a “Panda Cam” at the National Zoo in Washington DC. In the upcoming weeks we will compare objects by weight, practice patterns, and start using geoboards in Math.
Next week we will continue to talk about Thanksgiving and complete lots of fun activities! On Monday we will make Native American necklaces and vests. On Tuesday we will celebrate Thanksgiving with our 4th grade reading buddies! Students will have a snack and watch the movie “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.” Finally on Wednesday, we will make butter and cornbread!
