We have been working hard on telling time. This can be a very tricky concept for students. If your child doesn't know how to tell time to the nearest minute, here are some resources that may help:

This week Mrs. DeRoos recess buddies were Dylan and Jessica. Ms. O played a game with Carly and Mrs. Hultink played Sorry with Braylon.
The students are getting super excited to perform their songs for you on December 11. Please check out Mrs. Novoselich's website to practice songs at home too!

Below are some videos to have your child watch to help them continue to review these concepts. (Could be helpful for homework too!)

Since he has arrived we have found him in the most interesting places...
We have been swimming in poetry this week! Reading lots and lots! We took some time to spread poetry around our world by finding poems that matched locations in our school.
We are well into our history unit! Here are some things that we have learned...
1. History is the study of the past. Historians are people who studied the past. 2. The "Earliest People" is the first group of people we know about that lived in Michigan. We know they used arrowheads and traded with others. 3. Next, comes the Hopewell Mound Builders. We know a lot about them because they buried their dead in mounds with all of their belongings. 4. The Three Fires were 3 Native American tribes that all lived separate lives, but stood up for each other when needed. 5. The French "stumbled" across Michigan when trying to get to China for silk and spices. 6. The French and Native Americans got along and treated each other well. 7. The British wanted to run the Fur Trade. They fought against the French and Indians (French and Indian War). The British won and the French went home. 8. The Native Americans and British didn't get along ...at all! Chief Pontiac was a Native American Leader who led attacks against the British. They were able to take over many of the British forts. However, when the French said they weren't coming back the British and Native Americans agreed upon a proclamation. They both agreed not to cross the Appalachian mountains. |
