Please be prepared for colder weather tomorrow!

Highlights of Our Learning
-Today we explored the "____ap Family". Please see how many words your child can spell and read from this family of words. As a class, we found 14 words including cap, tap, slap, map, clap, nap, map, lap, rap, gap, trap etc.
-We all had time on Raz Kids and were able to read books together with Miss Rinaldi's students.
-We learned a new way to play "Face Off" with playing cards. By using the 1(Ace) to 10 we turn over two cards at a time from our pile and add them together. Then a partner does the same. Whoever has the highest total (sum) wins that round a gets to keep all of the cards. We also tried playing with the low sum as the winner. Whoever has the most cards at the end of the game is the overall winner. This an easy game to play at home. See what addition strategies your child is using as they play (adding one, counting on, using doubles etc.)
-We reviewed the characteristics of the animal group "Reptiles" and tried drawing a snake, lizard and turtle in our Visual Journals. Tomorrow we will print some facts about reptiles too. Please ask your child to tell you what they have learned about reptiles (ie. cold blooded, dry scaly skin, hatch from eggs, vertebrates, lungs, can live on land or in the water etc.).

F.Y.I.
-Parent Teacher Conferences will be held on December 5th and 6th. Online bookings will open this Friday.

Have a good evening!
