Week 11

It was nice meeting with you all this week. I love getting to brag on all the hard work the kids are doing.

This week in:

Reading: We discussed historical and scientific texts. We used a timeline to explain the events of the Boston Tea Party and a “spider map” to provide information about baby frogs.

Science: We continued our unit on forces and motion and we also began discussing simple machines.

Math: In math we discussed the relationships between multiplication and division and we also reviewed the properties and rules of multiplication and division.

Next week in:

Spelling: We will have a spelling quiz next Friday. You can find a copy of the list of words on my blog under the spelling section. As always, Mrs. Burns will have a different spelling list for her students.

Grammar: We will be discussing capitalization.

Reading: In reading we will be going over different points of view in stories. We will be reading two different stories from 1^st and 3^rd person point of view.

Writing: We will continue with our persuasive/opinion writing unit.

Science: Next week we will wrap up our unit on forces and motion. There will be a test the following week.

Math: We will discuss the associative property of multiplication along with factors and multiples.

Don’t forget, I will be submitting a scholastic book order on October 31^st. I can only submit an order if $20 worth of books have been ordered.

We will be transforming our pumpkins on Wednesday. Please send in the pumpkins as soon as possible but no later than Tuesday! Remember, if the pumpkin needs to be completely painted all over that needs to be done at home. There will not be enough time for the paint to dry on Wednesday. This is NOT Halloween related. We are only using pumpkins since you can find them anywhere this time of year.

Your child may dress like their favorite book character on Friday October 28^th. Our class fall centers will be on October 31^st from 10:20-10:55. If you would like to join us, please feel free.

Picture retakes are next Tuesday. If you want your child to get their picture taken again, please make sure they are dressed appropriately on this day.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
