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!

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.

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
