Hard to believe that
December is almost here! We actually have a pretty normal week this week, so we should be able to get a lot of learning in! We will be taking a trip cross-country with Lewis and Clark this week, and learning about how Sacagawea made the trip much easier for them. (You know that they would have gotten lost without her since they wouldn't have stopped for directions!)
In reading, we are going to be talking about how we can make connections with books. These are to make connections to our own lives, to other books we have read or heard before, and also to what we know about the world. As your child reads at home, ask them about how they connect to the story that they are reading. Making connections help us to understand and remember what we read better.
In math, we will be starting our geometry unit on solid (3D) and plane (2D) shapes. Visit the Harcourt site under the "websites" post to find an online shape activity. The IXL website also has some appropriate geometry activities as well.
