We had such a great week! Halloween is always such an exciting time, and the students were super grateful for the wonderful party that the PTA threw! I am impressed with how well-behaved the students have been today (Friday) even after a fun-filled night of trick-or-treating! I'm glad that the students were safe, and from what they have told me, they had a fun night! The students also seemed to have fun dressing up for Red Ribbon Week! How often to kids get to wear sunglasses during the school day? We are WAY too cool for drugs!

The Week Ahead
English: We will be reviewing the unit on nouns. We will take a test over the unit at some point during the week. I will send a note home with information about how to study for this test.
Math: We will learn to model the relationship between multiplication and division, apply the distributive property to decompose units, and solve two-step word problems involving multiplication and division and assess the reasonableness of answers.
Reading: We will be reading a story called, The Stories Julian Tells. We will discuss prefixes and suffixes and how to use them. We will also practice identifying homophones.
Science: We will continue learning about different ecosystems.
Social Studies: We will begin learning and discussing the first Thanksgiving!
