1 Write the largest 3 digit number you know. Good Morning Friends, I hope that you all were able to enjoy your long weekend. I know that we did, even though the Bengals lost. We are going to start a new story about Strega Nona this morning and think about how good readers ask and answer questions. After star jobs, we will be working more with long and short vowels. This afternoon, we are going to be talking about adding and subtracting 10 from a number. Let's make this a great start to the week! Love, Mr. F. Let's find words that rhyme with bite.

2 Turkey Troubles I ran into a turkey Last night down by the lake. I asked if he would join me For a bit of chocolate cake. He seemed a little shaky. He jumped at every sound. And when I closed the door too hard He fell onto the ground. "Tomorrow is Thanksgiving!" With fear that turkey said. But mom said not to worry, And we had ham instead. 2 syllables robber r blends short vowels people ate Click on the turkeys to see this week's sight words! at brown yellow ate are at black out am all

12 An interrogative sentence is a sentence that asks something. Interrogative sentences are also called questions. Complete the sentences below with the question words what, why, and where. do you see wild animals? do you like to watch wild animals? wild animals can you see? are some wild animals?

13 Why did you ask me that I believe you saw me over there I was walking to the grocery My mom said I can't go with you Did you ask me for this Where is the dog catcher Would you want to do old magic like Strega Nona or new magic like Strega Amelia? Give at least two reasons to support your opinion.

14 Circle the tens place Circle the ones place more days until Thanksgiving. Think of who is not looking forward to Thanksgiving Dinner? Good Morning First Grade Smarties, I hope that you all remember to work hard today! I know you are going to like the story about Strega Nona that you will start reading soon. You will also build words with digraphs before you read. During star jobs, you will need to complete something that you have not worked on yet this week. In writing, you are going to write a story about Big Anthony joining our class! In math, you will be completing rotations and working on reviewing some skills.

16 Making Inferences Good readers are inferring all the time! When we infer, we think about what an answer might be and provide a reason why. We use the thinking stem I think... because... For example, I think Strega Nona was not mad at Big Anthony because she did not fire him. When we infer, we do not know an answer is correct for sure. We are making an educated guess. Let's infer who we think the character might be based on the items outside the web.

17 Let's infer who we think the character might be based on the items outside the web. Let's infer who we think the character might be based on the items outside the web.

18 What does it mean if you "you meet your match?" If Strega Nona meets her match, what do you think you can infer about the other woman on the cover of the book? Today, we are going to find out what happens when a new strega moves into town. What do you think will be a problem? What other characters might be in this story? Who do you think the other woman might be? Let's write a story today! How about if we write a story about Big Anthony being a new student in Room 16. Make sure you include: a problem 3 ways you try to help him solve the problem a solution an ending to the story

20 Write what you think the temperature is. Good Morning Terrific Thinkers, I heard that you had a pretty good day yesterday! We are going to talk about the story you began yesterday and finish reading it today. I hope that everyone works very hard to finish all of of their star jobs today. In writing, you are going to think about whether you agree with Strega Nona's choices today. After lunch, we are going to take a math assessment and have some time Jeopardy. Let's all remember to do our best and be our best! Love, Mr. F. I SPY.. consonant digraphs and word wall words.

21 Sort the Pictures Short I Long A Short A can Long I hill How do you think Nona is going to solve her problem? How would you get rid of Amelia?

22 Pain a Portrait Draw how the character looks Draw a friend or foe of the character Character's name Draw where the character lives Write something important that the character did in the story I think Ruffles are good chips. I like Ruffles because they are good. They taste good. I like the ridges. That is why I like Ruffles.

23 I think that Doritos are the best chips ever! Doritos are very good chips because they are extremely cheesy. I like when I get to lick the cheese off of my fingers. When I am eating Doritos I do not like to share them. I think anyone can see why I think Doritos are the best chip in the whole world! Do you think it was a good idea for Strega Nona to let Big Anthony work for Strega Amelia? Provide at least two reasons to support your opinion.

24 I can spell short vowel words with all digraphs that I have learned. I can write declarative sentences with periods at the end. I can write interrogative sentences with quetion marks at the end.
