A very happy birthday to Will! He brought in yummy airplane-themed sugar cookies! They were delicious and creative. I forgot to snap a picture :( Anyways, we are so lucky to have Will in our class. He is quiet, hardworking, kind, helpful, and polite!
I got to pull my first tooth of the year! Thanks, Dylan ;)
Kayoe's newborn sister is adorable!
It was so fun to watch the 4th and 5th graders' Vetran's Day program on Thursday!
This week in reading we will focus on the essential question: How can people help animals survive? We will continue reading Expository Texts this week. We will read the stories: "Whooping Cranes in Danger," "Help the Manatees!," and "Kids to the Rescue!" We will work on rereading texts, author's point of view, combining sentences, and figurative language. Our spelling words will have three letter blends (ex. scrubs).
Our vocabulary words this week are:
In math we will dive even deeper into multiplication. Overall, students did a nice job on their Chapter 4 math assessment, proving they have TONS of strategies to solve any multiplication problem thrown their way. In chapter 5, we will describe multiplication patterns (using input/output tables), finding unknown factors (algebra/unknown variables), using the distributive property to problem solve, and multiplying with multiples of 10. This is a pretty short chapter, so we will begin division before you know it!
In social studies, we will go back to learning about Montana Native American tribes and reservations. We took a brief break to learn about Ellis Island/Immigrants and the election process, but now we are back on track!
In science, we have now built our gliders and done one of our trials. This week, we will work with adding weight to see how that affects how far our gliders can fly.
I am so thankful for how well the students behaved for their Guest Teacher on Tuesday and Wednesday. I was VERY impressed at their fabulous behavior. I feel so very blessed to call these twenty-seven children my students!
Code Word = Thankful
