Review of Week of 11/14/11

11/20/2011

 
What an incredible week!  We ended our week with a feast that was not only delicious, but one that gave us an opportunity to celebrate all that we are thankful for in 2D.  I am thankful for the smiles that walk through my door every day. :)  Please read these highlights of our week:
Fundations:  Silent "e" was the focus of our phonics study this week.  We learned about words that end with at "VCV" pattern (Vowel Consonant Vowel).
Math: Graphing!  Mathematicians explored bar graphs and line graphs.  We are learning to carefully read graph keys before answering given questions.
Social Studies:  In our study of Japan, we started to learn how to say some common greetings in Japanese.  In addition, we explored a Japanese folktale that taught us about the differences between having "needs" and "wants".  
Writing Workshop:  2D writers are creating their own mysteries.  Wait until you seem them!  Students are doing an incredible job learning to write exciting opening sentences that make us want to read more. :)
2D Bakers/Artists:  Students (and parent helpers) baked 210 cookies this week for the Thanksgiving Feast.  We also made delicious strawberry Jello that got gobbled up!  I was so impressed to see all of the care that went into each dessert.  We also made beautiful placemats and centerpieces for the lunch tables.  The feast was a wonderful community event.  
Enjoy the upcoming week and Happy Early Thanksgiving to You!
