Classroom News 10/31

Well, our last week in October was too much fun!

Charles was our STAR OF THE WEEK! We enjoyed meeting his three chickens and getting to learn about them. We also got to see some pretty cute pictures of Charles as a baby!

Math:

We learned about fact families this week through a fun activity. We spent some time looking at how multiplication and division are closely related, and how division is really just repeated subtraction. 

Writing:

We started a writing sample this week that we will be finishing early next week. I am seeing some great creativity in our writers! Their stories are about taming a wild animal as a pet or a real life adventure. 

Reading:

We practiced finding the difference between facts and opinions while reading non fiction texts this week. This helps us analyze what the author's meaning is. 

Social Studies: 

Several partners finished their brochures!! I can't wait to see everyone's presentations on them next week! They are turning out so great!

Harvest Party

We had a blast during our celebration Thursday afternoon. Here are some pictures to prove it!
