Dates to Remember:
October 21-28: Fall Break
Here's what we're learning this week!
Reading: During reading this week, we will review how to find the theme of a story, how to locate important information in a passage, and how to use textual evidence to support our thinking after reading a passage.
Writing: During writing this week, we will do several "short writes" to continue practicing the skill of embedding different themes into our writing.
Word Study: After analyzing student writing, I've noticed a need for teaching of the word study rules for adding -ed and -ing to verbs. Thus, we began practicing last week and we will continue to practice these rules this week. The hope is that it will begin to carry over into student writing.
Math: We are starting a new unit this week on decimal place value and operations. We will begin this week by learning how to read and write decimals in various forms. Then we will study the relationships between place value positions (e.g., 0.01 is 1/10 of 0.1). Please look for your child's recent math test in the Tuesday folder, sign and return it to school. Thank you in advance. 
Social Studies: We will continue to learn about how Exploration began, the motives for exploration, the results of exploration, and the impact it had on Native Americans.
It's going to be a short week--only 4 days until Fall Break! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
