Hello Families,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Eric and I enjoyed a nice family vacation to Gatlinburg! There was 28 of us!! We were able to laugh, eat, play, eat, and make memories. In addition to being with family I also missed my Campus School family and ready to start a new week!
In the classroom:
The reading selection this week is Anansi Goes Fishing. Anansi is a crazy spider that is always getting in trouble but ends in a twist. The stories vocabulary: intend, weave, task, quarrels, disgrace. The comprehension skill is cause and effect and author's purpose. The language arts skill is a review of adjectives.
In math the students will be practicing their mental subtraction. Mental subtraction is a very important skill in subtraction and will help with solving problems more fluently.
In unit study we will be singing “Money, Money, Money, Money” as we explore economics.
It is going to be a great week!

Hello Families,
Happy Thanksgiving!!! We are going to have a great two day week filled with presentations and Thanksgiving festivities.
Monday and Tuesday morning the students will present their How-To Projects. I know everyone has been working really hard and I am very excited about seeing everyone's projects.
Monday afternoon we will be continuing our study on the three branches of government. The students will be making a "Governement Turkey" and taking a test.
Tuesday afternoon we will watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and enjoying a delicious Charlie Brown snack.
Wednesday through Friday, hopefully, everyone will be enjoying their families, delicious food, and thinking about all the wonderful things to be thankful for.
Here is some inspiration for the How-To:

Hello Families,
I hope everyone had a great weekend. Last week we finished the Candy Corn Contest and the winning guess from Clarence Robinson! There were 132 peices in the jar. Good job Clarence!!
This week in the classroom:
In language arts we will be reading A Turkey for Thanksgiving a thrilling story about how animals celebrate Thanksgiving! The spelling skill is long -a (a, ay and ai). The grammar skill for the week is adjectives.The students will also be working on their writing for the How-To-Projects.
In unit study the students will be working on the three branches of governement. What are the three branches??? Students will learn how each provides a check and balance for our government process as well as each branches function and the leaders.
In math the students will be continuing subtraction. The skills include using addition to check, rounding and estimating differences, as well as problem solving lessons where students will decide whether to add or subtract.
For How-To-Project reminders go to the class wiki!
Quote for the week:
Eventually, children learn to exercise self motivation as they see the needs around them. Embracing challenges and problems is a start toward taking on the role of a leader. Thoughtful and persistent parental involvement is needed to encourage children along this path. Life Skill: Responsibility
