This week in Reading Workshop...
We are reading stories and studying Pilgrims, Indians and the Mayflower. Your child should have brought home their take home reader today. Please send them back on Thursday. We will read and learn all about the early settlers all week and on Friday we'll have our own feast to celebrate our friendships.
In Writer's Workshop...
We are continuing our focus on Organization. We are reading stories that other author's wrote to compare how they sequenced their story with a beginning, middle and end. We will continue to write stories, publish them and share them with our class.
Our Word work focus this week is learning words with the long o sound.

In math...
We wrapped up our unit on Number Sense. Now we will move on to a unit specifically on Comparing Whole Numbers by place value and other attributes of comparing numbers. This unit will last 4 weeks. There were two pages, a worksheet 10-1 and a topic sheet 10-3, for optional homework. These two pages will help reinforce what your child has learned and is learning about place value.
In Science...
We began our unit on Rocks today. The students observed 5 different kinds of rocks and thought about their properties as they recorded some information about the rocks in their Science Notebook. This unit will last 3 weeks.
