December 1st-December 5th

We had a short, but fun week! Students enjoyed a Thanksgiving scavenger hunt and they had fun planning Thanksgiving meals. They had to decide on a menu and then they used Hannaford flyers to calculate the cost! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

This week...

Reading
We will continue the character unit. Students are doing a buddy read of a book and examining the main character. We finished The Miraculous Journey of Edward Toulane and wrote about how the main character changed throughout the book.

Writing
We will start the informational writing unit this week. We will start with a pre-assessment so We can see what the students already know about informational writing. Then we will spend time reading a variety of non-fiction books in preparation for choosing a topic.

Math
We will continue the multiplication unit. We will be going over the 0s and 1s, 3s and 6s. Please make sure your child is practicing on xtramath 3 times a week. I have updated it so everyone should have multiplication as part of their practice.

Science/Social Studies
We will finish up the plant unit by examining the pods and breaking them open to see the seeds. In social studies, we will be studying economy by looking at wants and needs, scarcity and abundance and natural resources.
