What We’ve Been Up
To
We are in full swing
with our Book Clubs, Teacher Clubs and our Spelling Group. The kids turned in
their published, illustrated books last week.
We will be sharing on the Author’s Stage and also with the Kindergarten
Classes.
We took a
multiplication quiz and our Government test.
We have started our Unit on Making Inferences in reading and our new
unit “States of Matter” in science.
This Week
READING We
will be reading lots of poetry and looking for meaning using inferencing. We continue to read independently between
30-40 minutes every day. Every student
must read a biography, a poetry collection, a historical fiction, and 3 choice
books this quarter.
WRITING We
are free writing some various personal narrative drafts. Later in the week, we will choose one to take
through the writing process for publishing.
MATH We
will be relating multiplication with division.
Eventually we will merge over to just division, including long division.
SCIENCE We
will be comparing solids and liquids as we partake in a couple of labs this
week.
SS We
have begun our Explorer Project.
Everyone will be researching one explorer, which will eventually be
presented to the class.
In The Spirit…
Lots of charitable
opportunities…
We are continuing
with Penny Wars in our classroom. We
have narrowed down our charity choices and the kids want to let our money jars
grow beyond Christmas.
We have a hats,
mittens, and scarf tree in the lobby and a Toys for Tots box in the
office.
Box tops, Campbells
Soups and Little Caesars are all being collected in the classroom.
