Weekly Update 12/15

                                      This week's quote was "You are capable of amazing things!"

Our class nominated BELLA DOUGLAS for her encouraging words and helpful spirit!

HAZEL SCHELL's special week was a couple of weeks ago, 
but we still appreciate her and wanted to share a picture in front of her poster!

Curriculum Updates     
Reading:  We are wrapping up Rain Reign. We had literature circle meetings, assessments, and class discussions.   We talked about the author's purpose and theme for the story. While Rose went through some difficult times, she ultimately has hope for things to come. We also recognized that Rose did the right thing even though it was difficult.

Math: We are using large number division to solve a case.... Who ate part of the gingerbread man cookie?? Students are working in pairs or small groups to support each other through the clues and computations.  

Language Arts:  We completed our favorite stuffed animal stories.  I enjoyed reading the sweet childhood memories! We also completed our abstract noun project on the site Canva.  We tried to demonstrate how holiday related abstract nouns make us feel and how we experience them at this time of year. 

This week's "THUNK" question: If you paint over a window, is it still a window?

Social Studies:  Students are using non-fiction research and their notes to create a project that will best demonstrate the knowledge and information they have gathered.
