Math
We finished up Chapter 4 on Bar Models and took the test Thursday. *Students MAY make corrections and bring it back on Monday for an improved grade. Tests brought back after Monday will not have grades changed.* After Thanksgiving Break, we will be starting Chapter 5, which is learning the concept of multiplication and division!
Reading
We finished up Theme 6 and took our test today! The kids have been learning all sorts of "fix-up" strategies they can use when they get stuck reading. After break we will begin Theme 7.
Writing
We have been practicing the format of writing a letter and this week we put that into practice by writing a letter to a Disney character at Disney World! Now here's to hoping we get a response! ;)
Science/Social Studies
This week we focused on learning all about Native Americans. It was so fascinating and the students have loved it! We learned about 5 different Native American groups and their cultures. After break we will begin learning about simple machines!
**We will not be beginning a new chapter/theme in math and reader on Monday because of the short 2 day week before break.**
