This Week
         Every two weeks or so a group of students bakes or cooks for the rest of the class.  It’s a fun way for students to do something active together for their classmates plus it’s a nice treat!  This Thursday it will be potato day and students will be eating baked potatoes with all the trimmings.  Should be yummy!
Subjects
Math: This week we will be developing patterns with coordinates in a math project I showed at parent night.  Students will bring home their math project when completed.
Reading: Students have been working in groups reading scripts in an activity called Reader’s Theater.  Groups practice the scripts together and then share with the rest of the class.  This is great practice for fluency and reading confidence. We continue to focus on building word power and language meaning. 
Writing:  Students are continuing to type their adventure story. We will be focusing on sentences structure for the next few weeks and doing research for a non-fiction writing project. We will be focusing on basic sentence structure for the next few weeks.  Students also continue to use their nature journals outside (when possible!).       
Art: Students have learned vanishing point lettering and will practice some perspective drawing next. 
PE:  Students are demonstrating their creative games to the class.  I think they’ve learned that creating a new game that is fun, easy to learn, and has clear rules is not as easy as it seems.  Tuesdays is dance day.
French: I French students have been learning basic greetings and practicing some beginning vocabulary.  They’ve been having great fun learning the greetings and seem enthusiastic about learning French.
