In math we are continuing to work on our math facts. We will be finishing up our first unit on adding next week and starting our first unit on subtracting. Next week flashcards with +3 and +4 facts will be coming home in addition to the cards that are already in your students' bags. These should be practiced in addition to the ones they are already practicing.
Last week we enjoyed some fun Halloween activities in Social Studies that went with our Egypt unit! We made mummies by using paper mache and dolls. We also learned that a version of Mancala is called "Wari" and is an Egyptian game. We played it using some colorful glass stones and egg cartons. We didn't get a chance to play very long, so we will be playing again next week! Check out some pictures below of our paper mache adventures!
In religion we finished up our unit on Spookley the Square Pumpkin and talking about how everyone has stronger and weaker gifts, and how we work together to fill in each others' weaknesses. We also started talking about the Order of Mass. We made a big list of everything we see happening during the Mass and next week we will be putting them in order and reading some books to go along with what we're learning! We will also be starting to use the small book that was sent home at the beginning of the year. I will send an email letting parents know which pages need to be read at home next week.
Science class has been a zoo! We continue to learn about animals. It is really fun to take a break once in a while and practice moving like animals!
Last week in Spanish we figured out some Halloween words together. Next week we will be using some of those words again as we learn some words for fall and harvest time. We will also be learning some of the many Spanish games I have!
Make sure to take a look at the "Upcoming Events" section. I will be updating that as often as my weekly update.
