READING:
     In reading, we have have been reading our just right book and we have been reading a book in class called Ida B. We’ve also been using our book boxes to hold our book, reading log, light read, back up book(which is our book in case we finish the one we are reading), a pencil to write and our reading response journal. What is a reading response you ask? Well, it is where we write letters to Mrs. Crowther about our reading life and what books we are reading.   


WRITING:
             In writing we have been brainstorming different ideas to get ideas to write our personal narratives that we will publish. This is the second writing project we have done this year. The first project was the bio-poem. 



MATH

    In math this week Mr. Madden (the math teacher we have been working with) has been working with us with 1 inch square tiles and linear pieces. With these tools we have been building models representing multiplication and division. We have also been working in our student work books where we write observations and other math problems.
    In number corner we have been working with centimeters, meters and decimeters (which is 10 centimeters). We’ve also been observing the calendar and figuring out the Egyptian numeral patterns that people actually used!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Other Important News and Events

          This week our team went to Shelburne Farms to make pizza and work on team building.  Some groups went on the tractor and all groups got to cook and play awesome games. We learned how to work together and how much work goes into making a pizza! The trip was really fun but the best part was that Mrs. Crowther’s baby Poppy, came too!

          This week we will also be starting NECAPS. NECAPS are when we do a big test through 10/4 to 10/11 and if you’re sick on one of those days we are having a make up week! Get ready and put your thinking caps on students!
