In language arts we also learned about paragraphing during writer's workshop and finished up our rough drafts of our personal narratives. Next week we will move on to informational writing.
We also read Thank You, Mr. Falker and finished up The Witches! I would like to show the kids the Jim Hensen created movie version of the book as I've done for the past couple of years so they can compare and contrast them, but will need your permission to do so. The movie is rated PG due to some very mild scary stuff. The Grand High Witch is ugly, as you can see in the trailer posted below, but other than that there is no bad language or inappropriate adult situations. I will be sending home permission slips laster this week and would like them back so we can watch the movie on Friday. It's a really cute movie and follows the main storyline of the book pretty well.

We began learning about Connecticut in social studies this past week and learned about our state's governor, state flag, and symbols. Students are working on a Connecticut packet chock full of great information about our state.
I was delighted to see everyone's awesome looking science projects! Everyone worked so hard!
In math we continued to work on multiplication and division problems focusing on the commutative and distributive properties, specifically on how to decompose problems to break them down into smaller, more manageable units. So far we have worked hard to learn our 1-5's tables. Please keep practicing those facts at home! Our end of module assessment will likely be Friday. We will review in class and take notebooks home to use as study guides.
Friday the 10th is picture day! Please make sure your child brings in his/her picture envelope/money on the day of the photo shoot!
