Mrs. Borden
and Mrs. Jones’ Newsletter (Week of November 26)
Handwriting/Writing: We will continue to work our way through the
lowercase letter formations in order to start copying words, phrases, and
sentences in our Handwriting book. We
recently reinforced the concept of staying in between the midline and the
bottom line for most of the lowercase letters using our large chalkboards. Everyone followed along and wrote their best
lowercase letters!
Reading: Our new
story is: Little Panda and it is non-fiction.
We will be comparing and contrasting in this story. Our amazing words are: weigh, measure, healthy, bamboo, curious, explore. Our essential question for the story is:
How does a panda change in its first year of life?
Math: We will continue our Unit 2, Numbers 11-20 and then move on
to Unit 3, Comparing Numbers to 20. We will work each day reviewing number
formations, counting to 100, and working with our buddies in our Spring Math
program. We have also been counting by
10’s and reviewing ones and tens place when writing what day of school it is
each day.
Science/Social Studies: We will be reviewing hibernation in an upcoming Weekly Reader and then be moving into
winter characteristics. We will also be
exploring various holidays in December.
