Weekly Newsletter 9.27.13

This week was action packed in KIS ACHIEVE! The students kicked off our Fall Unit with pumpkins galore! The students used inquiry to predict what is inside a pumpkin. Mrs. Karn cooked the pumpkin seeds and we ate them. :) We set aside a few to glue on our craft and when Mrs. Marshall opened the pumpkin we discovered mold all over! This got us thinking that we will do a "Pumpkin Jack" experiment and watch it change or rot. ;)

We also went putt putt with Ms. Katelyn and our friends at Timmons. A huge thank you to Bella's mom for providing a room and ice cream. We appreciate it. We were so proud of our kids considering our bus broke down and we had to wait for it to be fixed. Another huge thanks to Ms. Rex and Ms. Katelyn for running out to Wendy's and feeding us!

This week we reviewed:

Spelling Words: at, be this, have, from

Wilson Reading: short a sound and students read aloud We all Can!

Language Arts: They will continue to practice the strategy of “asking and answering questions” to help them better understand what they read.

Social Studies: Timeline, US Regions, and Maps

Writing: As a whole, we need more practicing with adding describing words to our personal stories! We will continue to work on the strategy this week!

Math: We began unit two which focuses on making up, representing, and solving addition number stories, reviewing and applying alternative strategies for addition and subtraction, and practicing addition and subtraction facts for sums and differences up to 10.

Science: Pumpkin Unit "Outside-Inside a Pumpkin
