Oct. 26 to Oct. 30

Welcome to the week!  Here are our learning targets:

Reading: The students are beginning Week 2 of their Science and Play unit.  This week, each small group will be reading a non-fiction story to learn about how technology helps people.  They will be investigating the question: "How does science create news ways for people to have fun?"

Vocabulary: observe, classify, electricity

In our story about Winn-Dixie, the students will be working on remembering details, summarizing, finding compound words, and analyzing idioms (such as "it's raining cats and dogs").

Math: This week, the students are focusing on different strategies to subtract and find differences.  They will also begin the introduction to multiplication.

Writing: We will be working on the quality of writing, such as revising to create better sentences and editing to follow proper punctuation and capitalization rules.

Please remember that next week will have three short days that dismiss at noon: Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.  We will be doing parent-teacher conferences during the afternoons.  I am really looking forward to meeting with each of you!
