Math
We used the interactive white board this week to solve addition and subtraction number stories similar to the one below. We used the words "more" and "less" to help us understand the concepts of adding and subtracting.
The students also practiced sequencing the numbers from 0-20 using an interactive game on the whiteboard. The children did a great job with this activity, especially with those teens numbers! We continue to reinforce the concept that the teen numbers are made up of a ten "plus some more."
The students also spent some time in the LMC learning how to access the Everyday Mathematics Online game website. There are several games that the students will have access to at school and home. A card with login information will be sent home at conferences!
The November calendar went home last week as well. Please find a spot at home to display the calendar and have your child trace the number for each day. There are many ways you can use the calendar with your child at home including:

Jolly Phonics
We worked through Book #5 in Jolly Phonics this week. The children learned the sounds and motions for the following letters:
/w/ as in "wind"
/ng/ as in "sing"
/v/ as in "van"
Thank you so much for all your support at home reviewing our Jolly Phonics sounds. The extra time practicing really pays off when the children are learning to read and write. The short vowels and double letter sounds are trickier and could use some extra practice!

Literacy
This week we introduced the sight word "see." We highlighted the new word in our sight word books and brought them home earlier in the week. Please add this book to your child's plastic baggie. We read several books with a bat theme this week including: Stellaluna, National Geographic: Bats, and Fantastic Bats. After reading our bat books, we completed a graphic organizer together as a class that listed our ideas about what bats can do, what bats have, and what bats are. The students also wrote facts they learned about bats, and they used their letter-sound knowledge to label a picture of a bat. The children were also able to watch the movie version of Stellaluna, which made for some great conversation as we made comparisons between the book and the movie.
Social Studies
The children learned about the upcoming Veteran's Day holiday. They talked about what it means to be a veteran and made cards that will be delivered to veterans in honor of their service.

She also loves blowing up balloons. Her favorite foods are pancakes and mac-n-cheese, and she loves fruit, especially blueberries, bananas, apples, and oranges. Thank you for sharing Lydia!
