Weekly Update 10/19

 Happy birthday to NANCY GRAY! We hope today is as awesome as you!

This week's quote-of-the-week was "Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right!"  Our class nominated MARY LINWOOD for showing a positive attitude and encouraging others!

Curriculum Updates         

Reading: We wrapped up James and the Giant Peach with an assessment for understanding. Students also created a poster to show their thinking about the author's technique and message of the book.  These will be on display for a bit and then come home.  

Math: We are continuing our large numbers unit with comparing and rounding.  I have noticed most girls need some support with word problems.  I will model the use of the strategy CUBES.  This will help them pay attention to the parts of the word problem that will help them figure out what to do to solve it. 

Language Arts:  We finished up our "Witch Spell" stories that are on display in our hallway.  After Halloween, these will come home.  We also created self-portraits using the style of Tim Burton.  

Social Studies: Our Pixton comics are complete and hanging in the hall.  These will make their way home soon!  Next week, we will begin our "Westward Expansion" unit.
