Week of November 26th

Wow! I can't believe that November is over and December starts tomorrow. Where has the time gone. I hope that everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving and had an awesome week with your children. This week in math we continue to work with addition and subtraction facts. We will continue this over the next few weeks. In writing we learned how to take notes on a topic and are using this information to add to our inforrmational books. In Social Studies we are learning about Native Americans and comparing their lives to our live today. In Reader's Workshop we continue to work on fluency and are focusing on character develop in our independent reading and groups. On Thursday we had the privilege of going to a 5th grade team where the 5th grade students shared their science journals with us. This is great preparation for us as we will be working with Science Journals on our next science unit starting towards the end of January. Check out the pictures in the Smilebox from our little trip. I want to thank all of the families who are helping out in some way for our table at the Craft Fair. Thank-you for taking the time to do this. Have a wonderful weekend, Nancy
