Library Day 

F2F Learners can return Library books on Monday 11/2 and check out a new book! 
Virtual learners, please click HERE for information on checking out a book from our library!


Math:

In Math this week, we will review comparing numbers. We will be able to compare numbers using our math manipulatives and number lines. We will use the words "greater," "less," "more," and "fewer" to compare groups of objects and numbers. We will also come up with numbers that are just one more and one less than a given number.


Science:

We will continue our study on Magnets and how we use in our daily life at home and school.  Magnets can be found almost everywhere!  We are going to design and create a Magnet Maze this week by using a paper plate and the round magnets you have at home/school.  I can't wait to see what you designed!

Social Studies: 

Thank you all very much for sending the sweet pictures of your family with pumpkins. I hope you enjoy the slide show that I created with all your wonderful pictures! Enjoy!  
Next week in Social Studies, we will be discussing the Presidential Elections coming up on Tuesday. We will also begin our Unit on Patriotic Symbols of the United States. We will practice reciting the US Pledge and Texas Flag.
