Monday, Sept. 24th

Today in class we learned new science vocabulary to describe the 4 life cycle stages of insects (Egg, Larva, Pupa, Adult) we also noticed that our mealworms are turning black!!
In reading we practiced finding unknown words in our 'just right books' and then "chunking" them in order to sound them out easier (example: If the word is thanksgiving you would stark by noticing the TH blend, then maybe the ING, you may know the ANK sound, ect. then put them all together to find the actual word)
In writing we started a new project- the ABC insect vocabulary book :) Ask you child about it tonight.

We have book exchange on Wednesday this week.  You may bring an old book from home that you are no longer interested in and swap it for another used book! Bring a book on Wednesday to participate :)
