Academics<\/strong><\/p>\n

ELA:\u00a0 We have officially wrapped up Esio Trot by Roald Dahl.\u00a0 Roald Dahl uses incredible vocab in his books which makes his novels increasingly interesting to read.\u00a0 Our reading block also introduced alphabetical order which was fun to practice and focused on reading non-fiction stories. \u00a0 Lastly, we began our lesson 7 Wordly Wise vocab.<\/p>\n

Writing:\u00a0 We read some incredible fiction stories this week involving animals such as Dogzilla, Brave Charlotte, and Honk!\u00a0 Prima Swanerina.<\/em>\u00a0 Students were challenged to write their own fictional animal story that included descriptive language, temporal words, and dialogue.\u00a0 We are still in the process of writing these creative stories!<\/p>\n

Math:\u00a0 We have completed Chapter 4 in Math and I was incredibly impressed with how well the students took on addition with regrouping.\u00a0 We even made it to quadruple adding and students were begging for more numbers to add.\u00a0 What a group of mathematicians!<\/p>\n
