Kutter Kids Update Week 15
November 22, 2024
Happy Thanksgiving!
We had a lot of fun with our Balloons over Broadway STEM project this week. The kids did a great job planning their floats and it was fun showing them off at our parade today. We practiced using our RACE strategy to answer comprehension questions about the story.
In Math we wrapped up our unit on regrouping but will continue to practice this important skill. Our next unit in math is understanding and solving multi-step word problems.
Reading we will continue to practice applying the RACE strategy to reading comprehension passages as well as summarizing the passage/story.
Science was lots of STEM planning this week and putting together our floats! After Thanksgiving we will spend a couple of weeks wrapping up our Science unit on Sound and Volume and then spend a few days studying Holiday traditions around the world.
Enjoy the Thanksgiving break! I've loved hearing the kids talk about all their fun Thanksgiving plans. We have so much to be thankful for! Mark and I are driving to Alabama to see his family this year. Sarah Grace has to work and Cammy has classes until the 27th so she will be staying in California this year. I'm looking forward to doing some baking and spending time with my nieces and in-laws.
December is coming up--it is always so much fun and goes by so fast! I'm so thankful for the community here at Boone. It is the best place to be and I love coming to school every day!
