Thank you to all the parents that supplied treats, games, the craft, and help for our Halloween Party! I appreciate all your hard work! Your children had a great time! Check out pictures from the indoor parade and party.
Here we are! The Grand Haven Tribune’s Classroom of the Week! They came to visit last Friday, and we are in today’s paper.
We went swimming on Thursday and Friday with Mrs. Berry’s class. What fun!
This week in reading we showed what we learned while reading Tiger Rising together. I asked the students to give a retell and do some inferring about the text as well as talk about the craft and structure the author used. We took a final test this morning on this reading unit on characters.
In writing this week we are reviewing power paragraphs. They learned about this nonfiction structure in 3rd grade. We are reviewing how to write in this format before we begin our unit on essays.
In math we are learning different ways to understand 2 digit by 2 digit multiplication including the array model, the distributive method, the partial products method, and the zero trick. Next week we will learnt he “old school” shortcut.
In science this week we took a closer look at snails and guppies to discover what they have that helps them survive in their environment.
