Reading: We are working hard on studying and analyzing the characters in our stories. This week we are specifically focusing on how certain characters keep important objects near to them, and sometimes they act out of character. We are also looking at the mannerisms of the people who surround our characters, and their actions toward them.
It is a blue week for reading response journals.
Writing:
We are stepping back and looking at the pieces we have been working so hard on during writing. We are really focusing on what the heart of our story is, and how we can organize it in a way that will make the most sense to our audiences.
Math:
We are testing on Monday, and beginning our subtraction unit. Subtraction is sometimes very frustrating to students, it is important that we encourage our young mathematicians to look back and make sure that their answers make sense. I will be posting supplemental videos for students to watch to help them with their homework.
Science:
This week we are learning about how plants reproduce, and beginning to learn about the plant life cycle!
Social Studies:
We are still learning about our country's geography. We will be having a test on Friday.
Other Important Information:
HALF DAY ON FRIDAY! Students will be released at 11:50! They will not eat lunch at school! PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR STUDENT KNOWS HOW THEY WILL BE GETTING HOME!
Report cards will be released next week.
Parent Teacher Conferences: There are still a few families that have not yet signed up for parent teacher conferences. Please let me know when you are available to meet. If you are unable to attend conferences on October 28 or October 30 I am willing to set up another time, Skype, facetime, or do a phone conference.
Field Trip Permission Slips: Please return permission slips and $4.25 for our field trip on October 22 before Wednesday. If you are able to come help out, please make sure you check the box on the permission slip. We LOVE volunteers! :)
