Weekly Happenings

Hello! I hope everyone had a great weekend! I look forward to a full week of learning!

Here is what's happening this week:

Writing: This week we are starting to draft our realistic fiction stories! We are working on showing and not telling the story. We are also working on including detailed scenes, instead of summaries.

Reading: We are working on paying attention to the main character's thoughts and actions to better understand them as a person. The students are doing a great job during both independent reading and guided reading. They have so many great thoughts about their books!

Science: We just began chapter 4 today. This chapter covers ecosystems and food chains.

Math: This week we are working on different addition and subtraction concepts. They will add and subtract using patterns, mentally add and subtract, and estimate addition and subtraction problems. We will also continue working hard during math stations! Please continue to practice those multiplication facts!

Important Reminders:
*Field Trip Rescheduled: Thursday, September 25
*Early Release Wednesday, September 17

Please let me know if you have any questions!
