How to Carve a Pumpkin Science & Writing
Scooping out the Seeds!
- This week our BIG question is: What jobs need to be done in our community? We read the story Millie Waits for the Mail about a silly cow that helps a mailman do his job... and ironically, a mail truck appeared! So we had to snap a quick picture!
- We also read Good Job, Ben! to learn the short e sound. In the story, Ben meets workers in his community like a librarian, bus driver, crossing guard, and construction workers. We used this story to identify the characters, setting, and events on each page. We say "the setting is where the story takes place." See if your child can identify these parts of a story when you read together at home.
- Our new High Frequency words are again, help, new, there, use. We completed a noun sort (person, place, thing) and learned the suffix -ed. The suffix -ed can make 3 sounds:
- -d, as in spilled
- -t, as in camped
- -ed, as in blasted
- In math, we continue to learn different strategies to add and subtract within 20. We learned the following strategies: doubles, doubles +1, doubles +2, and make 10 to add.
- In Science, we continue to explore living things- like pumpkins! We wrote a "How To" paragraph on carving a pumpkin. We went through the steps together and then used the transition words first, next, then, last in our writing.
- On Halloween, the children can wear their costumes to school in the morning. Please no weapons as props. Pack masks in book bags and when the children get in the classroom, they can put them on. We will be parading around the school @ 9:00 am, so if the costume shoes are tricky to walk in, maybe just wear tennis shoes! Also, please send in a change of clothes in a plastic bag, in their bookbag. We will be changing out of costumes before recess/ lunch. OR- wear a change of clothes under their costume.
