We are learning all about Author's Purpose. Why do authors write a certain piece of writing? How can that help us better understand what we're reading? We are also taking some time to do a Spooky Book "Tasting" where the kids get to sample lots of spooky and cozy fall books. They should have books to read at all times, so this is one of many things we do to get great books in their hands. After Author's Purpose, we'll move on to a novel study of Tiger Rising.

Weekly PE Update
This week we worked on passing/setting, serving, and learning the rules of Volleyball. This week we will dive further into rules of Volleyball, playing games that help students learn how to move more on the court, and get into our Volleyball teams for pool play.

In addition to these units we will be working on building fitness knowledge students will be learning about benefits of being active, barriers to being healthy, heart rate, target heart rate, and the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion-this is one of the few traditional assessment (Google Form) this year.
