We sure packed a lot of activities into a two-day week! We had a special bullying presentation on Monday that the students really enjoyed. On Tuesday we had a presenter from the Putnam Museum. She spoke to us about art in nature. At the end of her presentation, we got to make an origami frog that can jump! We also spent a fair amount of time completing our Thanksgiving Pocket Books. Hopefully the students shared their knowledge of the first Thanksgiving with their families.

The Week Ahead
English: We will continue our unit on verbs. We will also be working on organizing our writing in the correct order.
Math: We will learn to draw and measure line segments to the nearest 1/2 inch, locate and name points on a number line with a scale of 10, draw a bar graph with a scale of 10, act out, draw pictures, and write number sentences for "equal groups" story problems, and identify and draw lines of symmetry.
Reading: We will be reading a story called, Centerfield Ballhawk. We will also learn and discuss antonyms, sequencing story events, and main idea.
Science: We will be doing a small research assignment (in class) about a rainforest animal to finish off the unit.
Social Studies: We will learn to read a diagram, and then we will create our own diagrams.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving break! Please feel free to contact me at bcalcott@orionschools.us with any questions or concerns.
