Writing: We are starting our second nonfiction piece. Each student will pick an event in history to research and study, and write a nonfiction informative paper. We will begin looking at primary sources and learning the appropriate way to take notes from various resources.

Math: We begun on chapter on adding and subtracting decimals.

Reading: Our focus is to writing about nonfiction resources. The students will learn how researchers can learn from a variety of sources-videos, observations, interviews, as well as nonfiction texts. They will learn that researchers conduct primary research to learn about a topic to discovers patterns, and determine the main idea.

Events Coming UP!!!

Helping Hands Campaign:  This week we begin our Helping Hands Campaign! This project helps families that need a little bit of a helping hand over the holiday season. So, we are going to help them out by collecting things such as food, laundry detergent, shampoo, toothpaste, and yes, even toilet paper.  

Each week, we will show you examples of the kinds of things you should bring that week to donate.  Friday, November 4th is Jingles for Jammies! You get to wear your favorite pajamas to school and all we ask as that you bring in some spare change for our Helping Hands families.   Information will go home in your backpacks soon, so make sure you talk with your parents first before bringing items to school.
