A great end to November !

Highlights:
  •  We put together our 3D shapes and made them into cites. 

  • Then, we pinned them to the wall to create a very large city. Some people are still working on it though. 
  • We also played the shape review game! We each took a white board and had to draw the shape that Mrs. Yoon called out, or write the number or edges, vertices, or faces the shape had.
  • For word work we learned about the "-at Family" words
From this we learned that "a" has 2 sounds: a long and short vowel sound. When it is beside another vowel (such as "e") the long vowel sound of the first vowel is what we say.  So for the word "eat" we say the long "e" sound and do not say the "a" sound in that word. A fun way to remember that is to sing "When 2 vowels go walking, the first one does the talking"
  • We met with our big buddies and finally got to share all of the work we have been doing in our visual journals (such as the flower facts, color wheel, and ROYGBIV)
  
 Afterwards our big buddies showed us their book project, where they take a book and modify it into their own stories. We helped them by sharing some of our ideas on what would be interesting in their stories!

  • In music we started preparing for the Festive Evening - the song will remain a secret until the event!

Reminders:
  • Please remember to bring library books back for Monday :)
  • Starting next week, Dec. 2 - we will be starting to share the artifacts from home that represent our family traditions - please remember to bring this in :) 
    • Please also return the form with questions about family traditions to help guide the presentations in December. 
    • Each class we hope to have about 5 students share about their family tradition.
  • Festive Evening on Thursday, Dec 12th
