OUR WEEK AT A GLANCE

Math: This week, we will continue working in Module 2, which focuses on measurement. Students will be reading temperatures and practicing rounding to the nearest ten or hundred. Students will use vertical number lines to solve problems involving rounding. Students will apply these skills to estimating sums and differences. 

Reader's Workshop: Students will continue to participate in Reader's Workshop and work in their Benchmark books. Our focus this week will be on comparing and contrasting information in two texts. We will continue reading our class chapter book, Frindle! 

Writer's Workshop: This week students will wrap up their Excited for November paragraphs and begin an acrostic poem about Fall and November. They will focus on descriptive language and the use of adjectives to add spice to their writing. 

Social Studies: This week, students will continue with Week 12 in our Studies Weekly curriculum.  Week 12 teaches students about migration! 


Science: We will continue working in our first unit of study for Science, which is Balancing Forces. We will begin exploring some November themed investigations through Mystery Science.

P.E.: Please dress appropriately on Monday and Thursday for P.E every week. 

REMINDERS


Happy Veteran's Day!

Mrs. Palmer
