 October 2009 What’s Happening… Math We are working on addition and subtraction strategies. Skills lessons will include fact families, missing parts in a number sentence, and word problems. We are also introducing estimation, even/odd numbers, building numbers making tens/hundreds and repeating/growing patterns. Please practice math facts for 3-5 minutes nightly. Language Arts We are beginning a new theme this week entitled Nature walks/Fables. We will be reading Henry and Mudge and the Starry Night and Exploring Parks with Ranger Dockett. The strategies we will be learning and using are questioning and evaluating techniques. Vocabulary study will include compound words and antonyms. We are also working fluency techniques daily and how to use letter sound relationships to read new words. As you read with your child ask questions that get them thinking about what they are reading. Your children should be reading silently and aloud nightly.
Social Studies We finished our unit on citizenship and have begun studying Geography and Government. In Geography we are working on recognizing the landforms and the three regions of North Carolina. In Government the students are studying relationships between people and government. Science In Science we are learning all about weather. Skills lessons will include changes in weather, the water cycle, and key vocabulary.
