- In science, the class has been learning about the solar system. We spent time last week learning about how the Earth's rotation causes day and night, and the Earth's revolution around the sun takes one year. The class also learned about what causes seasons, and about the moon. We went outside today and set up a scale model of the solar system so that students could see how enormous the solar system is.
- In math, we continue to learn about multiplying 3-4 digit numbers by one digit numbers. The class learned the expanded algorithm, and the standard algorithm. Students also learned to estimate products by rounding, so that they can check to see if their answer is reasonable. We will continue multiplying in the coming weeks.
- In ELA, we have finally finished up Boy in a Girl's Bathroom, and the book Holes. Students created paper bag projects as a culminating activity and presented the projects to the class. Also, students compared and contrasted the 2 books. Students learned about author's purpose last week, and learned the acronym PIE to help them remember persuade, inform, and entertain. Today Miss Papuzza taught the class how to make a claim, and support it with evidence. We will be starting to learn about the fantasy genre after Thanksgiving break. Finally, we started writing a new essay about things that we are thankful for.
- The Halloween party was a big hit! Thank you for sending in treats and for assisting at the party : ) I have added some photos of the party below.
- We had Good Eats today, and the class learned about potatoes and sampled some mashed potatoes.
- We are enjoying having Miss Papuzza, our student teacher, in class with us. She has been a big help, and is a great teacher!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Julien's Mom was our mystery reader!
