Happy October and happy Friday! It feels like fall has arrived!
Writing: This week in writing we have been publishing our realistic fiction pieces. Everyone has been working so hard to get their pieces finished. I can't wait until Monday when we will celebrate all of the hard work that they have put into their writing so far this year!
Reading: We wrapped up our first unit in reading this week. We have been working on pushing our thinking when reading fiction books. We have been talking about the importance of writing down thoughts, questions, and interpretations as we read. Next week we will be starting our new unit and we are going to be working on learning how to become researchers! We are very excited!
Science: This week in science we worked on finishing our ecosystem projects and we presented them on Wednesday and Thursday. We also took a gallery walk around our room so that we could see everyone's hard work. We will be taking a break from science for a few weeks and will now be working on Social Studies.
Math: We started chapter 3 in math on Monday. Chapter 3 focuses on the relationship between multiplication and division. We have been looking at word problems this week and figuring out how we know which operation to use. We even learned some algebra - using variable when there is an unknown number in an equation! We will have our chapter 3 test on Friday, October 9th.
Homework: I have been noticing that there are many students who are forgetting to do or turn in their homework daily. Everyday I check their assignment notebooks at the end of the day and mark it with a star to say that I've seen it. Please remind your child to check their assignment notebook if they forget what their homework is. It is so important that they hold themselves accountable. Thank you so much for your help, I sincerely appreciate it!
Reminders:
