What we’re
Workin’ on this week..
Language Arts / Social Studies
Next week in Language Arts we will continue our Author / Illustrator study on Jan Brett! We are having fun learning about her and her stories in our rotations! We will also review our 1st 20 Word Wall Words and do a little assessment to see how many we know! Look for this to come home! Book bags and reading homework will resume after the winter holidays as we are assessing the students to check for progress and understanding! Thanks so much! P.S. If you have any Jan Brett books at home that your child would like to bring in to share with the class feel free to send them in! We can read them and return them back to you! Thanks!
Math
Next week we will continue working on learning about personal financial literacy! We will continue learning all about needs vs. wants, goods and services, earning money, saving money and receiving money as a gift.
We will also be assessing learners for report cards that will be coming home the week after we get back from our winter holiday. Here are the things that each learner will be tested on. Please ask your child at home if they know each of the items and practice with them on the things that they are unsure of. :)
*Reads, writes and represents numbers to 20
*Collect, sort and organize data into 3 groups
*Counts backwards from 20
*Instantly recognizes groups of objects
*Counts by 1's to at least 50
*Counts by 10's to at least 50
*State or represent the number before and after a given number up to 20
*Compose and decompose (using a number bond) numbers up to 10
*Identify coins
*Identify how to earn money as an income
*State the differences between earning money and receiving it as a gift
*List skills needed for a job
*Distinguish between needs and wants

Extending your Learning at Home:
Thank you to those who have sent in a video counting in a different language! We hope to get more videos in!! Click on the hotspot circle links on the map below!
If you would still like to participate in our counting challenge, have your mom or dad tape you and send it to either Mrs. McKinney or Mrs. Brehm. Please include the region of where your language is from, as we are making a link to that place in the world!
***Example: Hi my name is _______. I am going to count to 10 in Chinese. (Then you would count slowly so others will be able to learn from you!)
We cannot wait to get in the videos, put them on our world map and learn from you!

Science
We will continue our study on trees. We will be looking at all the parts of a tree and how they differ from other plants, doing leaf rubbings and learning the difference between evergreen and deciduous
*Trees are different from most other plants because they are the only plant with bark.
