Literature/Reading: Puss in Boots is our story of the week. After reading the story, we will learn some vocabulary terms from the story as well as talk about personification. We will end the week with one of our first grade sayings, "Let the cat out of the bag." Friday after school, ask your student what this saying means. But, remember to not "let the cat out of the bag" for the meaning of the saying before then.
History: We started a new unit this week. It is a unit on Early American civilizations. We started the unit with talking about the Bering Strait and the land bridge that was used to cross to the Americas. On Thursday, they will all get to go on the trail from Asia to North America and talk about the lives of nomadic hunters. All of this will lead into our discussions of the Maya, Aztec, and Inca Civilizations.
Science: The "doctors" in our class are having a lot of fun learning about the human body. This week's focus is the muscular system and what muscles are used for in our body. Stop by the hallways to see the progression of our human bodies on the wall. Be sure to also ask your student if it takes more muscles to smile or frown.
Reminders:
- The Medieval Faire is this Saturday from 1-4 pm on the CPA/Archway field. We hope to see all of you there!
- Mark your calendars that November 27th is a half-day schedule. It will be a 12:15/12:30 release and there will be no clubs that day.
