Language Arts:

The clickers are finally working the right way, which allows our classroom to use them to take quick quizzes in any subject. We are really happy they are working right. So make sure when you take a quick quiz you are really sure of your answer before you send it!!

The story this week is a Genre Study. The students in Room #1 will be reading some Trickster Tales. These are much like Fables. Animals are the main characters and a moral is given at the end of each story. There are three Trickster Tales we will read this week. The spelling list concentrates on the /oi/sound found in join:

join

noise

choice

soil

point

foil

voice

broil

Math:

Hooray! We have completed Unit 3 and started Unit 4. The students are learning how to Round to the nearest 10 and to the nearest 100. We will practice for a few more days before we begin to read and interpret charts. Nice job on Unit 3!!

Science:

We wrapped up our Native American Unit. Some students are still finishing up their weaving. We should be able to pick up our clay pots by the end of the week. The students brough a packet of extra sheets home if they want to complete at home. We were not able to get through all of the material. Last week we started our new Science Unit. It is about Matter, Mass, and Energy.
