MATH:
  This week we reviewed concepts from our fraction unit. The test will be on Thursday. We will begin our Place Value unit this Wednesday.

READING
  We continue reading Long Way from Chicago in Book Club. I am rotating among groups daily. We are focusing on comprehension strategies, vocabulary building, and using text support.
 
WRITING:   
  Everyone completed their Halloween stories. One of our
focuses for this piece was using onomatopeias- sound words
such as "Whoosh!" Many students sat in the author's chair and read us their fabulous stories!

SCIENCE: We have been discussing simple machines- they make work easier by changing the amount of force needed. We engaged in investigations and discussions about the various simple machines.

SPELLING:
  Click on the "SPELLING" tab to see the Lesson 8 spelling list. I will send it home on Monday. The The test will be Friday. The spelling skill is the various spellings of the sound /s/.
We have been working on parts of speech such as nouns and verbs.
