January 26, 2012

This was a cold week!  We definitely were not used to this type of weather!  Our temperature in our room is off alittle bit, so if your child has been cold bring a sweater.

In writing we are still working on writing for readers.   Writing for an audience will really help students focus on writing for a purspose.  This will also give meaning to the editing process.

We began our exploration with nouns.  They have really grasped the idea that a noun is a person place or thing.  I breifly mentioned that it could also be a feeling or idea.  Next week I will introduce proper nouns.

The entire class is very proud of the story that we created.  We began with a character we picked.  Theneach student took part in writing their part of the story.  It is a very interesting story and it will be added to our classroom library.

We have continued our practice with 2 digit addition and subtraction.  Next week we will review and finish up any make up pages that are not finished in our Math Journal Volume 1.  When it is finished it will be sent home!  We have our second Math Journal ready to go.

The student were let in on a secret!  They found out that in fourth grade they learn how tto make inferences about characters.   They started to learn how to make inferences this week!  They were very excited to learn that they are diong things that older students do.  We will be practicing how to make inferences for the next couple weeks.

I will be sending home sign up sheets soon, to take Taddy over rthe Winter break that is coming up!

I hope everyone is doing wonderful!
