Weekly Update

Hello!

Last week's Celebration of Books was a huge success! I giant thank you to the help and support from our families. We spent a lot of time reading on October 31st, dressed as book characters. We went and read to Kindergartners in Mrs. Hotchkiss' class and to third grade buddies in Miss McClelland's class. 

We had a bunch of fun costumes, also. As soon as I figure out how to post pictures to the blog, I'll post a few that I took that day.

Next week are our Parent Teacher Conferences. I can't wait to see you and share specific things your child has been working on in class. 

Also next week on November 13th, will be a celebration for all students who have not received an office referral during the first trimester. A note from the office will be coming home soon with more information. 

Next week's specials are:

Monday: Music

Tuesday: PE

Wednesday: Media

Thursday: Art

Friday: NO SCHOOL 

What have we been up to in class this week? Continue reading below for an update from Fatimah!

******************************

Math

In Math we are did multiplication facts 5s 10s 3s 9s 4s. We also are studying fact family. We’ve also done a little bit of division. We have 2 sheets of paper we have to do. We have to color it and do the multiplication problems.

Writing

We are learning informational writing. We had to pick a topic that we know a lot about. We got to write a quick draft. Today we got to write anything we want. Last week we took a test about sharks. Then on Tuesday Miss. Baxter told us that we are going to publish an information piece of writing. We don’t have to do all the fancy parts of the publishing process.

Reading

In reading we are working on summarizing stories. If we read to partner we don’t need to write a summary. If we read to self we do have a summary. We at least read about 30-60 minutes every day if we have a problem it takes a lot of our reading time. We have reading groups too. We have to write summary’s there too for our group work

Word Work

We started to use a book that helps our writing and reading. The color books mean the type of skills you need to work on. We have to cut glue and do the back.
