Here's what we have been up to:
- In ELA the class has been practicing responding to questions using text based evidence. We have been continuing to work on paragraphing, and are publishing final copies of our "special people" essay. Students continue to practice independently editing and revising written work. We will be finishing Boy in a Girl's Bathroom next week, and the class will be completing a project for this book in class. We also continue to practice close reading to identify the main idea and details of a passage.
- The class did great on their social studies test! Next week, we will begin to learn about European explorers and students will work in groups to research an explorer. We will start the solar system unit in a couple of weeks.
- In math, we are practicing rounding to estimate. Students cycled through stations twice this week. We just started to review subtracting with regrouping. This is something that many students still need practice with. Please encourage your child to go on IXL to practice math topics being covered.
- Next week we will be getting a student teacher from SUNY Oneonta, her name is Devin Pappuza. We are very excited for her arrival!
- Reminder: Next Friday will be our Halloween party at 1:45. Students are allowed to send costumes to school to change into for the party. Please leave any weapon props at home.
Here are some photos from our trip to the Huyck Preserve! We learned a lot about ecosystems!
