For religion this week we will light our second candle on our Advent wreaths as well as continue to read our Advent stories each day. The students are excited to read the next story each morning and then hang the book on our classroom tree.
This week we will begin Unit 7 in Adventures of the Superkids. In this unit we will continue to work on short and long vowels. The students will be introduced to Silent e and will do various activities to further aid in identifying and spelling words with the CVCe (consonant, vowel, consonant, e) pattern. We will also read a story called "Kites" in our readers and work on identifying the beginning, middle, and end of a story. The students will also begin work on writing their own problem and solution story.
In math this week the students will continue practicing their addition and subtractions facts. We will be focusing on adding 2 to a number this week. In addition the students will also measure the length of different objects using linking cubes and then compare and order them by length. The students will also work on finding different ways to cover a design using pattern blocks and then sort and count the pattern blocks used. We will be having a math test on Tuesday, Dec. 11.
For science this week we will begin looking at mixtures. The students will once again be going to the science lab to do an activity involving figuring out ways to separate a mixture. On Wednesday, Dec. 12, we will be having a science test on matter and the three states of matter (solids, liquids, and gases).
