A Regular Week

What a fantastic Drama Club performance on Thursday night. Thank you cast and tech crew for your hard work! We also celebrated Ms. Bonk's last day on Friday. We are back to a normal week!?!?

I hope you all had better luck than I did this weekend with flooding! My poor brand new basement was under 3 inches of water when I got home on Friday. Let's just say, it was not the relaxing weekend I was hoping for!

This week we will be spending our math time on Decimals. Today we had a recap of what they have already covered and we took a look at writing decimals and mixed numbers from words and fractions. We will be concentrating on place value, comparing and ordering, and addition and subtraction of decimals this week.

In Reading Workshop, our study of fiction will continue as we take a close look at Plot and Movement through Time. We will begin to think about our next writing unit as well - Fiction - Looking at a fairy tale from another characters point of view.

In Writing Workshop we will be completing the drafts of our Feature Articles. These will be sent home to type on Thursday (due back next Monday). There will be specific directions for completing these!

We will take a small break from Social Studies as we have completed the American Revolution and we will give Mrs. Kourt's class a few days to catch up. I hope you enjoyed their ABC Book!

Thanks again for all of the support you offer to your students!
