Social Studies/Science: This week we started our “How Seeds Travel” science unit. We planted Marigold and Dill seeds. Over the next few weeks we will be tracking how the seeds grow with different variables. Each seed was either placed in a pot that gets:
-Water and sunlight
-Water but no sunlight
-No water, but sunlight
-No water or Sunlight
Math: Our learning in math was spent learning how to add identify and count money. We have learned to identify the penny, nickel, dime, and quarter and how much each is worth. We are practicing counting sets of coins and solving money word problems. This is an excellent skill to continue practicing at home!
Writing: In writing we continued working on our Community Helper books. We are currently in the publishing phase. The students' books are turning out great!
Reading: In reading this week we dove into a story called, “Getting a Message to General Washington”. This story was a historical fictional story about a boy named Tom who helped get an important message to George Washington during the Revolutionary War. We summarized, retold, used context clues to determine the meaning of vocabulary words, and compared and contrasted points of view. We also read and analyzed a poem by Langston Hughes called “Words Like Freedom”. We have officially wrapped up our Government Unit and will be beginning a fiction unit after Thanksgiving Break.
