November Update

Hi Parents,

It is hard to believe we have come so far this quickly.  It seems like Daylight Savings Time ends earlier each year!

In math we are dividing three digit dividends by one digit divisors.  We have been engaged in many cooperative activities in math, from the creating of math posters to taking part in math games that reinforce the skills that are being taught through our enVision Math Program.

In ELA we have just learned the Key Word Strategy in our guided reading groups.  The children are identifying 2-3 important words from each part of a non-fiction text and then writing a summary about their reading using those words. I am pleased with their results!  We are also busy writing narrative animal poems.  These poems require the use of similes and metaphors.  Each poem also uses information the children have researched about a chosen animal through the use of their iPads.

In Science we formed Design Teams and planned out our animal cage projects. The children are now building their cages.  The cages should be completed by next Friday.

I hope everyone has a terrific weekend.  The next school day for students is Wednesday, November 12th.
