READING WORKSHOP:
This time is largely filled with our Guided Reading groups. Some of the boys are reading one of my favorite books, Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen. It is a book about a boy named Brian whose plane crashes in the Canadian wilderness. We have just gotten to the part where Brian has figured out how to make fire. I am hoping to secure the other three books in the Hatchet series so that we can continue to read about Brian.
For independent work this week, the students have a cursive sheet, the lake mini-book, a vocab packet, their spelling/grammar packets, and a Thanksgiving assignment.
MATH:
We are working on long division and expressing remainders in the form of a fraction. Once the students are quite solid with this, we will introduce three and four-digit dividends (the number being divided).
Please help your child learn skip counting and/or their division facts. This will make a huge difference as we expand our knowledge of division into big numbers and then begin working with fractions.
SCIENCE:
We took our final quiz on the Earth's surface/erosion unit today and turned in our journals for this unit. Tomorrow we will pre-test on magnetism.
