What a crazy week we had!  Our schedule changed so that 4th grade could practice for their Groovy-O-Rama but we handled it well and were able to stay focused. We were a little excited about the Thanksgiving Luncheon! Thanks to all of you who were able to join us for that special meal.  

Reading Workshop-  We will continue our unit on nonfiction.  When we return from the holiday, we will focus on main idea and details.   We will also add in the topic as the week comes to an end. 

Writing Workshop-  We wrote our ending to Turkey Trouble. Ask your child how they ended their stories.  Some endings included a turkey going to Schlitterbahn, one turkey disguised himself as an astronaut, and another disguised himself as Santa Claus to avoid getting eaten!   We will focus on different types of nonfiction writing such as flyers, pamphlets, and journal writing when we return.   

Science/ Social Studies-   We will continue our unit on force and motion.   We will have stations with "Motion Impossible" and finally get around to building our roller coasters.  

 

Math-   We will continue our unit on two digit subtraction.  We will focus on regrouping and story problems next week. 

Class Celebrations:   Allison  will celebrate her birthday over the Thanksgiving holiday! We hope your day is special Allison!

As we get ready for our Thanksgiving holiday, I just want to say Thank You for sending me your child everyday! I appreciate their bright smiles and willingness to learn!  They keep me on my toes and I enjoy watching them learn and grow!  Thanks for all the support you give at home!  I couldn't do it without your help and support!  Have a great holiday!  

Mrs. King
