Weekly Update!

This week FLEW by!!!!

We started Unit 2 in reading.  
You should have seen the Unit 1 tests come home
this week.

We will spend 4 weeks in Unit 2 working on 
reading strategies.  This week we started with analyzing character.

My favorite time of the day is read aloud time.  
We love getting LOST in a book together.
We just finished Flora and Ulysses by Kate Dicamillo
Everyone was so sad to finish that awesome book.

We are now starting the book Wonder.  
It is an amazing book about friendship and acceptance.  
It is about standing up for others!  
It is a tear-jerker, for sure!

I have encouraged your kids to dig into a great novel.
We will have a book celebration at the end of this unit (Oct. 17)
Your child will need to have finished a full novel by then, so he/she
can make an awesome project that will tell the class all about his/her book.

We are moving into multiplication and long division in math.  
These are BIG BIG BIG skills!

And......science starts next week!
We will take a break from Social Studies and work on Science for a bit.
Up first....magnets!!!!

Have a great weekend!
