Star Prize – We met our next star prize and earned recess on the 4th and 5th grade playground this week!

Fall Party – Our class had such a fun time at our fall party! Here are some pictures from our celebration.

OUR LEARNING:

Reading– This week we began our second unit of reading which is all about being word detectives. The Super Secret Detective Agency delivered us a top secret envelope with 5 missions for our class to complete. This week we completed two missions!

Writing – We began our second writing unit, “How-To Writing.” Rasheed taught the class how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich this week with his mentor text for us! We began working together to write a how-to piece on how to wash your hands.

Math – We continued solving subtraction equations with circle drawings this week. Our class did great on this week’s quiz!

Word Study – This week we began our second word study unit, all about the mystery of the silent e. We worked on sorting words with the vowel ‘a’ that did and did not have an e at the end of the word. In words without an ‘e’ at the end, the ‘a’ said its short vowel sound. In words with an ‘e’ at the end, the ‘a’ said its long vowel sound.
