Reading

During our reading time we read the book A Turkey for Thanksgiving. We worked on our story seqencing by reading this story a few times and then using pictures to put the events in order. We looked at the words Thanksgiving, hooves, and riverbank during our vocabulary word work.

Our poem this week was called Five Little Turkeys. The turkeys were trying to get away because they did not want to be on a Thanksgiving tray as dinner. We took turns reading the different turkey lines. THen we illustrated and circled our popcorn words in the poem before adding it to our poetry notebook.

Our Weekly Reader was all about the First Thanksgiving this week.

Math

In math this week we finished topic 5. This week we practiced counting numbers 11-20. We also pracitced writing and identifing these numbers. We will continue to practice these numbers as they are very tricky for the students because their names do not follow a pattern. Next week we will begin topic 6 called counting to one hundred. We will be looking at patterns in counting to help us count this high. We are all almost counting to 50 now!
