Wednesday, Nov. 2nd

Today in class we wrapped up our insect unit with a compare-contrast insect venn diagram.  We will be starting a new social studies unit tomorrow about history and the settlement of America.  This is a super fun unit and I know the kids will love it :)

In math we finished Unit 3 and will be taking our test TOMORROW! The unit is mostly based on adding and subtraction patterns, graphing, and mental math.  As always, the test will also include some review about money and time.  On Friday we will be starting Unit for with some weight and measurement activities.

In writing we are making our first REAL BIG writing project!!  We brainstormed today (ask you child what the problem and solution of their story is going to be!) and will start drafting on Friday.  Next week we will be doing revising and then onto editing and publishing! Writing a 'real big' writing project take a lot of time and hard work!

Friday will be the first day of a new fundraiser for the Reading Specialists.  We will be setting bagels and cream cheese (from Eastside Deli) for $1.  The kids have to order and pay on Friday and then will get the bagels Monday morning.  All the classrooms are doing the delivery of the bagels a little different but I will having the kids eat theirs first thing in the morning like a little breakfast OR they can save it for snack.  The money raised is going to go toward buying books for EVERY student in the school to take home--wow! Participate if you can.

**The book order finally came in today!! I sent them home in the backpacks.
