Curriculum Updates:
Reading: We've wrapped up our nonfiction unit on weather! The students took time on Tuesday to appreciate how they've grown as a nonfiction reader as well as shared some amazing facts they've discovered through researching their weather topic. Please take a moment to watch your child's video on Seesaw! We will be diving back into fiction in our next upcoming unit!
Writing: We've also wrapped up our writing unit on personal and persuasive essays. To celebrate, we discussed who we wanted to read our essays and who would benefit from reading them. We then researched different people/companies/and organizations to send our personal and persuasive essays to! Many kiddos are hopeful for a response back (I am, too!)
Math: This will be a busy week for math. Our division unit is coming to a close. Students have a Quick Quiz on Monday and Wednesday with the Unit test on Friday. Students are coming home today with the review packet so they can get a head start on studying. We will spend a lot of time reviewing and making sure we understand divising well next week before the tests. If you are noticing that your child is having an especially hard time, let me know! I will work with them here in class.
Word Study: Word study test for Unit 4 will take place on Friday, December 4th.
Today we spent time talking about the word "gratitude". We made a gratitude "chain" of paper where we all wrote one (or more) things we are grateful for! Ask your child what they wrote! I am very grateful to be your child's teacher. Each of my students are so great.
Enjoy your week/weekend! 🦃
