Week in Review ~ November 7th - 10th

For it being a short week of school this week, we still were able to get a lot accomplished. In ELA we talked about bugs that we know about it. We read the stories "I Love Bugs," "From Caterpillar to Butterfly," and "Bugs All Around." We discussed the life cycle of the butterfly and compared it to other life cycles. Our vocabulary words were curious, observe, attaches, process, and slender. We reviewed the letters Mm, Aa, Ss, Pp, and Tt and their sound and we also reviewed all of the sight words introduced so far. Please continue to practice these words at home. Next week we will be starting Unit 3 with the overall theme of Going Places.
In Math we finished up our lessons for Topic 3 so we will be doing the Topic Assessment on Monday then we will be moving into Topic 4 where we will compare numbers from 0 - 10.
On Thursday we had a nursing student from Fitchburg State University in to talk to the K2ers about proper handwashing and how to prevent the spreading of germs. Miss Alana showed the following clip from Sid the Science Kid that shows how quickly a germ can spread.
She also talked them about proper handwashing. Ask your K2er what song they should sing two times through before they rinse the soap off. Also, she handed out packages of Kleenex to everyone. Thank you Miss Alana for coming in.

As a reminder parent/teacher conferences are coming up on Monday, November 21st and Tuesday, November 22nd. Reminders of your day and time will be coming home on Monday. If for some reason you can no longer make your assigned time, please let me know so that we can find a time to reschedule.
One last reminder, all "Turkeys in Disguise" projects are due back on Friday, November 18th if you haven't returned it yet.








Enjoy the long weekend!
