Words with sneaky silent e...something you can begin to notice together.

These Owls are working to put the letters of the alphabet back in order.

Our big word for the week was "was."

                                                                We introduced the idea of proper nouns and the important job of the capital letter.

Double digit numbers that all add up to 100.

This math work is called partitioning.  The students are taking the number 5 apart.

Picture
We visited the Pflugerville Public Library with the Stealthy Ninja Ferret class and checked out books about hurricanes and tornadoes.  We worked on our special top secret projects and we played a hurricane/tornado trivia game with facts we have been learning.

Rachel's mom and her stepfather, Herb, came from Canada for Rachel's CINCA Environmental Educator Award Ceremony this week.  Herb is an Ojibwas elder. The Ojibwas are a First Nations people of North America.   Herb and Annie taught the students about the medicine wheel and helped each student make a wheel to remind us of the teaching.

Me on the Map:  We have been creating a map section in our Social Studies notebook.  We began with our classroom map and added our city, state, country, continent and planet.

The students here are writing in their Writer's notebook.  There are lots of right places to write.

​We are reading a spin off book from the Mercy Watson series about animal control officer Francine Poulet for read aloud.

We have explored Zz, Ww, ng, Vv and the two sounds of oo in the past two weeks.  
Our big words to learn have been my and have.  See if you can find a way to keep exposing your child to these two words so they become more familiar.

In math we have been continuing with odd and even, adding on the abacus, exploring parallel and perpendicular lines, quadrilaterals and right angles and using tally marks. Questions to ask:  How many sides does a quadrilateral have?  Do you see any parallel lines in the kitchen?

I cannot show you any pictures of our weather projects because they are top secret for EXPO, but you hopefully have seen the surveys.  We will be compiling our data and documenting our findings.  We got a really super cool weather station donated to our class by Nora's family which we finished installing today!

Of all the things that have happened in the past two weeks, the tornado warnings were perhaps the most exciting.  Here the owls are huddled in an interior closet of the theater in their Halloween costumes.
