This Week

Our expert for our expedition, "Everybody Has a Story", this week was a Spellbinder Story Teller from the Douglas County Library.  The kids really enjoyed listening to this tale about the stars.

This week, we have worked really hard on the story elements.  We read the Little Red Hen to practice story elements as a class.  Next week, students will be working in small groups to find the story elements in a small group text.  Please ask your child about characters, setting, beginning, middle and end.  We are working hard on our song for our Celebration of Learning December 4th from 6-8 pm.  

Thank you for the help with spelling this week!  The students scores really improved.  I hope you have enjoyed playing the math games with your student.  We are working hard to combine numbers to find the sum.  We are using equal, greater than and less than when we are comparing numbers.  Questions to ask your student:
"What does sum mean?   What does equal, greater than, and less than mean?"

In Crew, we are working on what a good friend does, says and the way he/she acts.  We also talked about heart prints.  Ask your child what a heart print is and what is a heart print they have received before?
