Thanks to everyone who came in and joined us for the American Education Week visit last week! It was so great to have so many parents and family members in the classroom. The students loved showing their families part of their day. There is one more lunch visit day on Friday, November 22nd.
FYI
As a school, we are no longer allowing students to walk around and deliver cupcakes to other classrooms on their birthday, so you don't need to send extras for this. We found that it was too disruptive to interrupt teachers at the end of the school day when they are trying to get students ready to go home. When students bring in a birthday treat, it will just be for their classmates. We have 23 students in the class.
This week...
Reading Workshop
We will continue to work on the character unit. Students are really enjoying the read aloud, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Toulane. We will be doing guided reading groups throughout the week and will focus on non-fiction.
Writing Workshop
We will be finishing the personal narrative unit before Thanksgiving. Students are drafting, revising and editing another personal narrative.
Math
We are continuing the multiplication unit. Students did a great job writing multiplication stories on Friday. We will be making array cards on Monday and Tuesday. Students will draw them in school and will need to cut them out at home.
Science/Social Studies
We will be going back into Starlab this week to learn about winter constellations. We will also start pollinating our plants. In social studies, we will practice latitude and longitude.
