Math News

The students have been working hard as they learn to subtract 2 digit numbers with regrouping. This is a difficult concept for some students. Today we learned how to check our subtraction with addition and that was tricky for some students as they had to remember how to add 2 digit numbers with regrouping. Your child might need a little extra practice at home. We will be finishing the chapter this week and the test will be on Tuesday, December 4th. Since we were working on this hard concept, we were using gel pens to make it more fun! A special thank you to those who donated the gel pens!

Making Fossils

The students enjoyed making fossils with play dough and seashells. We reviewed for the test tomorrow with our Activotes too.

Science Review

We reviewed Chapter 5 today and we will review again tomorrow. I sent the review sheets home today and the Chapter 5 test will be on Friday, November 30th.

Flat Stanley Update

Flat Stanley has been traveling all over the United States. We enjoy getting the postcards, pictures and news of his travels. We're learning about so many different places in our country.

Xtramath News

Wow! Gabe finished addition yesterday and is on subtraction. Kai and Brian finished multiplication on Xtramath and are now on division. I'm so proud of my hard working students. Many students are still working away at addition and that's great. Our class goal is for all students to finish addition by March. Keep up the good work!

Library Skills

Mrs. Czaicki showed the students the nonfiction area today. She read the story "Librarian on the Roof" about a real librarian. The students also made some crazy pictures on the computer.

Silly Turkey Stories

The students wrote a silly animal story about a turkey. They also made a little turkey too.  Of course, we're adding adjectives to make the story more interesting. We're also capitalizing names of people and places.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
