It's Turkey Time!

Holy smokes, it's already Thanksgiving! Where has this year gone? This week we are reading Squanto, Friend of the Pilgrims. We will discuss story elements, including plot, characters and setting. We'll also discuss sequencing, cause/effect, and summarizing with this story.

There will not be a spelling test or selection test this week.

I wish everyone a blessed Thanksgiving with family and friends. I'm so very thankful for so many things... including the time I get to share with your child each day!

Just a reminder: Wednesday is a half day! :)

A "short" week ~ Conferences!

This week we have been testing Unit 2 in Reading. I can't believe we've finished another unit! The school year is certainly flying by. Next week, we will begin Unit 3.

In Math, we are learning multiplication facts and division. Please continue working with your child on these facts each night. It is very important that they know them for future success in Math.

Conferences are Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. If you are unable to keep your scheduled conference time, please let me know.

This week the students are also researching future career choices. They will be using their research to create an infographic.
