Reading

The students have continued with asking questions while reading. The students are focusing asking questions using specific details from the text. They will ask questions before, during and after reading their book. This week we will continue to look for answers to the questions we ask which reading. If they author does not give us the answer we are practicing inferring the answer. To infer the answer to the questions the students use the information from the book to answer their questions with their "best guess." 

Book Reports

Last week I send home a book report packet and a biography book with each student.  The student did a great job of filling out their book report note packet. I have asked this month the students fill out these packets and read their book at home. On the 29th the students will bring the completed notes and books back to school. Then they will pick their project and complete it at school using the note packet they completed at home.

Math

On Wednesday the students will be taking their Unit 3 math test. 

The test will include the following topics

Finding perimeter and area

Ballpark estimates of three digit numbers (rounding to the nearest 10 then adding or subtracting)

Measuring in centimeters and inches

The review for the test will come home on Tuesday. 

Writing

The students have been working hard on editing their work. We have focused on editing run on sentences to create complete but removing unnecessary "ands." We have also been reading and reviewing the qualities which give a piece of writing fluency.  Each student completed a final copy which will be shared with you at parent teacher conferences. 

Fall Party

The Fall party is Wednesday the 31st. Please remember to send in $2 for your students to cover the cost of the party. Thank you for all the students who have already sent in their money. 

I look forward to seeing you all this week for parent teacher conferences!
