math: This week, we continue to work hard to familiarize ourselves with the foundations of multiplication and division. We will practice both with equal groups, repeated addition, and arrays!

To get in the Halloween Spirit, our class will also work in collaboration to complete an escape room, Unlock the Haunted House.

reading: In our class read-aloud, The Wild Robot, we continue to practice our questioning and comprehension.

We had a lot of fun completing our end-of-book mini-projects last week! After each reading group finishes their guided reading book, they get to work on a mini-project related to the book. Some groups completed fun gravity and volcano science projects, while others worked on awesome art pieces!

This week, we continue with our reading groups but with a Halloween twist!

writing: Personal narratives! This week we are focused on adding detail to our writing pieces. We will work through different strategies in order to do this successfully.

religion: This week is all about All Saint’s Day. This week we honor all saints in heaven. We will learn about several different saints this week and work to research a few.

We will be attending an All Saint’s Day 8:30 am mass this Friday. Please join us if your schedule allows!

word work: We continue on with Words Their Way! This is a differentiated spelling program that allows our students to learn phonics, vocabulary, and spelling. It’s a hands-on approach to use word study to help us become better spellers. New spelling words will be written in your child’s planner every Monday.

art: Our art focus this week is on our Halloween Door Decorating Contest!

Have boo-tiful week!

Blessings,
Miss Poindexter
