Our enrichment continues...

October was an amazing month! 

We learned different strategies to take a closer look at more difficult texts in order to get more knowledge out of each read. In math, we worked on subtraction with comparison problems and continued data analysis. In science, we discovered different plant stimuli and learned about the process of photosynthesis. In writing, we are still working on our voice and utilizing descriptive word choice. 

We had great quarter 1 student led conferences! Thank you for your amazing involvement. We are making some tremendous progress and continue to grow with every day. 


Important dates for November:

11/9 - Walk-A-Thon
11/19 - Interims go home
11/21, 11/22, 11/23 - No School - Happy Thanksgiving

Falling into Fall

Gosh! I cannot believe that September went by so quickly. 

We had so much fun studying the main idea and text features in reading, analyzing graphs and data in math, asking scientific questions in science and exploring by experimenting. We've even begun to grow our very own lima beans and sunflower plants while observing and predicting their growth! Writing has been a journey through narrative descriptions and social studies has taught us about citizenship and responsibility. Whew! We've been busy. :) 

Quarter 1 is almost over, and I am impressed every day with the effort and skill building of each student. October is a very exciting month with student-led conferences, a field trip to the Philharmonic to learn about the orchestra and more studies! 

Please see below for important upcoming dates.
