This Week
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving weekend and that you were able to get outside and enjoy the lovely weather.  Our student teacher, Mr. Dustin Bean, starts this week.  We know he’ll have a great time in the class and that the students will be welcoming and helpful.  Dustin will be here until December 12. 

Subjects

Math: Students are completing a pattern project that combines using a pattern, t-chart and a graph.  I’ll send the project home when it’s completed.  Next we’ll be starting number theory.
Reading:. Students continue to read short stories and readers’ theatre, and we’ll be focusing on reading fluency and reading out loud.  Once a week I look to do a news story with the class.
Writing: Our focus continues to be on developing a strong understanding of sentences and grammar.  Students will be have daily writing times in their journal.  I hope to send our Malawi pen pal letters this week.
Keyboarding: Daily keyboarding continues.  I encourage students to practice at home on the website we use at school:  http://www.freetypinggame.net/
Art: Hallowe’en’s approaching and we’ll be focusing on Hallowe’en art and decorating the classroom.
PE:  Volleyball starts this week in PE classes.  Also, grade 4s and 5s who are interested in joining the school team will begin practicing.  Every Tuesday is dance day: students are learning to jive.
