What We Are Learning

We are moving along with our multiplication facts. Pleasse make sure your child practices these facts every night. We are going to start a new unit social studies as well as science. In science, we will be examing weather and climate while in social studies we will be visiting early America and colonization. We will continue learning about plural nouns as well as possesive nouns. During ELA the students will begin a new novel study and work with character traits.

Novel Study

The class has finished James the Giant Peac by Rolad Dahl. They LOVED it! It is my hope that they read more books by this wonderful author. We celebrated all our hard work by watching the movie. We will be starting our next novel study, The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo. Kate Dicamillo is another fantastic author that I am sure the children will enjoy. The theme of hope and belief amid impossible circumstances is a common thread in much of Kate DiCamillo’s writing. In her instant #1 New York Times bestseller The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, a haughty china rabbit undergoes a profound transformation after finding himself facedown on the ocean floor—lost, and waiting to be found. The Tale of Despereauxstars a tiny mouse with exceptionally large ears who is driven by love to become an unlikely hero. And The Magician’s Elephant, an acclaimed and exquisitely paced fable, dares to ask the question, What if?
