What LEARNING and GROWING went on in room 217 this week:<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

ELA:\u00a0 We continued to read Mayor Hubble is in trouble<\/em> by Dan Gutman this week for our class novel. This has been a great novel to reinforce political words such as candidate, election, debate, campaign, and podium.\u00a0\u00a0 Our reading block also continued its focus on spelling and spelling patterns as well as inferences and inflections.\u00a0 We took a spelling test on some spelling patterns we have been studying as well.\u00a0 Lastly, we began Lesson 9 Wordly Wise.<\/p>\n

Writing:\u00a0 Students took to the computer lab this week to publish the final drafts of the story they had been editing the week prior.\u00a0 We will continue to practice typing our final drafts in Word documents.\u00a0 The students certainly enjoyed seeing their work come to life on the computer and feel VERY official.\u00a0 You can help your child at home by teaching them the basics of typing such as proper spacing, font, sizing, color, etc.<\/p>\n

Math:\u00a0 We took Chapter 5 Math test and continued our practice of subtraction with re-grouping and solving multi-step word problems.<\/p>\n
