Reading- This week in reading we are
working on Authors Craft in poetry and
in other texts. Figurative language,
grammar, rhyme patterns are just to
name a few.

Writing-This week we have created a

Writers Notebook. This is a place where

an individual thoughts, ideas, feelings and
even artifacts are placed. This notebook
will be used to generate writing topics as
well as provide an avenue where the
students can place their thoughts.

graders showed off their
accomplishments.

excited to show you there classroom and

MATH-This week in math, the

students are continuing to work with
addition, subtraction, exact totals and
estimated amounts with large numbers
and multiple addends.
It is essential for your child to practice math
facts everyday (+,-, x, ). Math facts are the
building blocks of math!

Social Studies-This week in social

studies we visited the importance of
climate thought out the different
hemispheres and the way in which rivers
change the land.
Student Corner: Reading is as
awesome as your Birthday and October! You
should read all the time so then your brain
and you are ready for a reading. This week I
bought a hamster eraser from the book fair,
and before I opened it I realized it had only
one eye so I had to return it. The book fair is
awesome! Miranda J.
