October 19-23

You may have heard about how sick our class has been the last few weeks, but we are finally on the mend!!

During Social Studies we are continuing to work on our Explorers unit Galleon. The students have formed their groups, chose what route they are going to take to the new world, and one group has volunteered to be the English Privateer. We discussed how they needed to take a ocean route that had as many stops as possible so they can resupply their ships.

During Writer's Workshop we read the book The Mysterious Disapperance of Harris Burdick and the students chose one of the pictures/captions to write a story about. Ask your child what story they wrote.

During Language Arts we have our Daily 4 down. The students worked on Read to Self, Word Work, Work on Writing, and Read to Someone. On Friday we went to read to our Kindergarten Buddies and Ms. Martini came to our class to give book talks on the Maud Hart Loveless books for this year.

In math students are continuing to work on Number Sense. Some classes are working on collecting data and completing graphs. Ask your child what they have been working on this week.

Have a restful weekend!!
