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

ELA:\u00a0 We began Mayor Hubble is in trouble by Dan Gutman this week for our class novel. This is a hysterical novel that has students laughing out loud.\u00a0 This book ties right in with the election and we are finding similarities and differences in Mayor Hubble is in Trouble’s\u00a0<\/em>election compared to the presidential election. \u00a0 Students also chose new AR reading goals for the quarter and took a practice DE test in reading in math to see their growth since August.\u00a0 I will send home scores with interims on the 16th.\u00a0 Please keep in mind this was a practice test.\u00a0 Our reading block also focused on spelling and spelling patterns as well as inferences. \u00a0\u00a0 Lastly, we took our Lesson 8 Wordly Wise test.<\/p>\n

Writing:\u00a0 EDIT. EDIT. EDIT.\u00a0 Students picked a story from their non-fiction writing this week to edit.\u00a0 This is certainly a process – we practiced adding punctuation, what makes a complete sentence, capital letters, and temporal words to help organize our writing.\u00a0 We had peer reviews and will type (SO exciting!) our final drafts next week.<\/p>\n

Math:\u00a0 Math concepts cover this week were:\u00a0 writing equations to represent subtraction, adding to find differences, and re-writing 2-digit subtraction.\u00a0 These students took on this challenge with ease and I am so impressed with their growth and progress in subtracting with re-grouping!<\/p>\n
