Happy Monday! We started with our Word Work (spelling) for the week. In math, we will be finishing up Unit 4 and giving the assessment later in the week. More students are finishing their stories in writing. Remember we have our field trip on Wednesday morning in Whitewater. Be sure the students have a filling breakfast as we will have a later lunch this day. Have a great week!

Word Work
Hello there! Today is Monday so the students were given their new list of spelling words for the week. If you need any assistance please let me know. I can always send home the sheet I teach the children from.
We continue to move along in math. Today we are working on estimating and solving problems without actually figuring out the exact answer.
Also, this week we will continue talking about Tomie dePaola so the students are familiar with the play next week. I still have several permission slips that need to be returned. :-)
Tomorrow when we have our technology lesson the students will make the cover for their stories in writing. I hope to have all of the stories completed by this Friday.
Please don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you and enjoy this beautiful week!

November
Hello! I apologize for not writing weekly. What an extremely busy start to the school year! Now that the assessments are completed as well as conferences, perhaps I can keep my promise of writing weekly. :-)
I sent home my monthly newsletter on Monday. Please let me know if you would like another copy.
We are cruising in writing. Today we worked on "what you do when you think you are done." Students have a checklist they need to follow at the end of each story. Some of the items on there include: re-reading your writing, checking for appropriate capitals as well as punctuation and spelling. We still need to write a dedication page, about the author and create a cover.
In reading the students are working on choosing appropriate books at their level called, "Good fit books" and reading them during Read to Someone and Read to Self. Also, we work on Word Work. Tomorrow the students will sort their words into their notebooks to prepare for their spelling test.
We are starting a new unit in math. We are on Unit 4. Students are learning the multiple ways of adding as well as looking at temperature.
Last, we are doing an author study to prepare us for our field trip on November 17th. We are studying Tomie dePaola.
I hope you are all staying healthy and are enjoying these beautiful days left of Fall.
