With the conclusion of a fantastic work of science, we are getting back to our regular schedule. A special thanks to Mr. Cohen who did some fantastic scientific study with our classes (and their buddies) on Friday afternoon!
In Reading Workshop we will be starting our unit on Non-Fiction. We will begin by looking at where we find it and what we use it for. We will also take a look at some of the characteristics included in NF such as Title, Bold Words, Italics, Labels, Graphs, Captions, Table of Contents, Headings, and Subheadings.
For Writing Workshop we are a little behind and will finish publishing and conferencing about our first published work. It is going well but takes a bit longer for me to meet with everyone that I had anticipated!
We will begin our study of multiplication in math. PRACTICE FACTS PLEASE! They need to be mastered in order for the rest of our year to go smoothly! Each night they will have different fact families to be working on! Please help your mathematician by investing some time!
On Monday we are going to have a quiz on our Rocks and Minerals Unit and then we will begin our second Social Studies unit of the year - Native American's. We will take a close look and make comparisons between the Iroquois and Algonquin Tribes in NYS.
The book fair is next week. Wednesday is our preview day and Thursday is our buying day.
We will have a small celebration of Halloween on Friday as well. Thank you to the parents who signed up to send in snacks!
George Steele will also meet with our class on Thursday so we need to be dressed appropriately for spending the afternoon outside!
Have a great weekend! I am so proud of your learners!
