Weeks of November 22nd and November 29th, 2021


We have a short week of school this week due to Thanksgiving break. Therefore, I will not send math homework home this week. Enjoy time with friends and family! Happy Thanksgiving!


These two weeks in literacy, we will…

  • Recognize and say consonant clusters that blend 2 or 3 consonant sounds

  • Read a poem titled, Star Light, Star Bright

  • Read The Creaky House: A Tale From Europe, adapted by Betty Riggs. While reading, we will hear and say initial consonant clusters. We will also infer a lesson from the story, identify the importance of the setting and remember important details. 

  • Participate in Heggerty Phonemic Awareness Lessons

  • Read Turkey Trouble by Wendi J. Silvano  and 'Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving by Dav Pilkey

  • Read, Going on a Bear Hunt by Margie Sigman. We will connect words that have similar letter clusters and phonogram patterns (st, spl, gr). We will also make connections to content, characters and events.

  • Read a poem titled Four Seasons. We will identify words that appeal to the senses and recognize words with beginning consonant clusters in the poem

In writing we will…

  • Write holiday letters 

  • Read the book The Day The Crayons Quit to better understand Point of View and opinions 

  • Write our own opinions based off the book The Day The Crayons Quit 


In math we will…

  • Use strategies to add with sums to 20

  • Group and count objects by tens

  • Demonstrate an understanding that numbers from 11 to 19 are composed of a 10 and some more ones

  • Compare pairs of 2-digit numbers

  • Add a 1-digit and a 2-digit number

  • Students will take the Unit 3 assessment


In Social Studies, we will learn more about Thanksgiving by exploring a choice board.  Included on the choice board will be books to listen to, directed drawings, and videos about Thanksgiving.  The week of November 29th, we will learn about community helpers and workers.  We will also learn about rural, suburban, and urban communities.
