November Update

 The Month of November

By: Lily (with some additions from Mrs. Kangas) 

MATH

In his unit we are learning how to multiply 

fractions. We know how to multiply a fraction by a whole number, a fraction by a fraction, and a fraction by a mixed number. 

READING

                                                          

We just finished learning about signposts and on your child's reading log they have to fill in whtat signposts they notice in their chapter books.  They must then explain what signpost and part of their book made them think. ALSO! Our class has just finished our Adventure unit and finally our  read aloud Hatchet. Mrs. Kangas brought in some dehydrated food for us to try since the main character, Brian, in the book ate some towards the end.  We had beef stew and an ice cream sandwich! 

WRITING

               

We have started Reader's Responses in class! A Reader's Response is a journal between Mrs. Kangas and your child about the book they are reading. The students in our class are required to do this. If your child uses their time wisely in class it will not be homework. The due dates are:

Monday: Bennett, Kelsi, Stephanie, Brady

Tuesday: Makaila, Aria, Quaron, Mateos, Samantha

Wednesday: Chloe, Javion, EJ, Latasha, Kayla 

Thursday: Mackenzie, Vincent, Lily, Paul

Friday: Adam, Wynter, Rece, Ajiona

Here are Mrs. Kangas' expectations for our Reader's Responses and her example. 

                              

Leadership- The 7 habits:

We have spent this month learning how to "Begin with the End in Mind" We talked about how important setting goals are for our selves, but even more important is making a plan to reach our goals.

Social Studies

In social studies we are starting our Latin America projects with Mrs. Daily!

School Events

This month we had our HoHot Night, Fuddruckers Night, Movie Night, and Culture Night and they were all very successful! And also don't forget about the 2 day break from school!
