Looking Ahead to November &December    

Mrs. Pettiford's Plans for the Upcoming Months

In reading we are finishing up with Unit 2 in the textbook. Skills we will have covered are fact and opinion, summarizing, context clues, and   comprehension. Next we will be moving on to another novel called Stone Fox. Novel reading is a very good way of building vocabulary to improve comprehension.

In science we are finishing up the chapter on plants. Next we will move on to the favorite chapter of all the children, animals. I’m thinking seriously about another field trip to Lincoln Park Zoo.

In English we are working on verbs and will soon be writing another composition. Also, the children are working very hard on a book report in the form of a commercial.

In Math we are working on reading and creating graphic organizers to display numerical data. Next it will be on to multiplication and division. It would be a good idea for the children to start reviewing their multiplication tables.

Please be sure to look at your child’s assignment notebook. It is very important that homework is done on a daily basis.

November is Thanksgiving month so please have a wonderful Turkey Day and coming up shortly after that will be Christmas. What a busy time of the year.

As always, don’t forget to call me if you have any questions or need anything clarified. I am always happy to hear from parents.
