11/13/2019 0 Comments Thanksgiving and HolidaysIn math, we are working on decomposing numbers. That is complicated away to say that we are setting the conceptual foundation for addition and subtraction. How many ways can you make 10? 6 and 4, 5 and 5, 7 and 3, they are learning to use patterns to figure out all the options.
In core, we will study the Native Americans and how they lived before North American was settled by the Pilgrims. They used very different things than we use including a papoose (baby carrier), parfleche (small bag), homes, clothes, and tools including arrow heads. Next week, we will learn about the pilgrims. Why did they leave their homes to come live in an inhabited and dangerous land? The weather and unfamiliar lands made it very difficult. At the end of the week, we will learn how the Native Americans taught the pilgrims skills like farming and hunting to help save them from the harsh climate. Will your child be at school the Monday and Tuesday before Thanksgiving? Please let us know as we start planning some fun celebrations. Our young authors are loving their teaching books. Your child is an author and an expert. Ask him or her what their topic is and support with ideas. Throughout the year, we refer to our young authors as "Super Writers!" We will learn to solve problems and that when you think you're done, you've just begun! As the holidays approach, please let me know if there are any family traditions that you do or do not celebrate that I should be aware of as we learn about different celebrations. Remember to remind students to “keep magic alive” if they no longer believe. We are sending home a family homework assignment that will be due after Thanksgiving, so you have plenty of time to work on it. Send it in whenever you are done. Use this to begin the conversation about unique family celebrations. Big take aways:
