Week of Nov. 28 to Dec. 2

Hello! Have you seen that we have our Winter Concert will be on Thursday, Dec. 15? K-2 will perform at 8:45, and grades 3-5 will perform at 10:00 a.m.? We certainly hope that you can stay for the entire section of each performance. It can be distracting to the students if people are up and moving around.

Here's a look into our learning for the week:

Reading: We are continuing to read Because of Winn-Dixie. Extraordinary things are happening in our room, such as great discussions, pleas to read "just one more chapter", and the building of empathy. It's simply fantastic. In our Wonders series, we are in Unit 2 Week 2: Immigration. Each small reading group is reading a historical fiction book about characters that immigrate to America. As we read, the students are learning about making and revising predictions and using similes.

Vocabulary: whispered, immigrated, inspected, moment, photographs, valuable, immigrated, opportunity

Spelling words: Months of the Year

Math: We are starting multiplication this week! The kiddos are so excited!  We will be playing games and doing activities in order to build their understanding of groups and items within each group.

Have a great week!
Mrs. Urbaniak
