Update 11-17

We finished up our narratives yesterday and today we finished the illustrations to go with them.  The kids all did a great job on these!

Mrs. Harwood and I met with every child yesterday and today about Reading Counts.  We are halfway through the quarter.  Each child has his/her goal and a plan to finish up the quarter and meet that goal.  Please ask your child to see that paper.  It is important!  Any questions, please let me know.  If you notice several 0's on the report, please have a discussion with your child about this.  I discussed this with them yesterday.  All Reading Counts points for 2nd quarter are due by December 18.  (the last day before winter break)

We have officially moved into informational text.   With Mrs. Will in Social Studies, we are studying and learning about Native Americans.  The kids have been working hard taking notes, watching videos, and learning about these four groups of tribes:  Southwest, Pacific Northwest, Plains, and Eastern Woodlands.  They are having quizzes in Social Studies about each of these groups.

We will be creating a flipbook project in Language Arts that will be due December 4.   Students will have to choose two tribes and two sections of their notes to compare and contrast such as food, clothes, homes, or beliefs.  They will put it together and color-code a map to put on back.  Click the link to view the project.  

We also have been busy practicing and performing plays in class.  I did video them and put them on Youtube as unlisted.  Click the link below to view.  (Mrs. Will's class is not up yet because there have been several absences and they still have one more to go).
