This week's events:

November's Spirit Day is tomorrow - The theme is CRAZY HAIR DAY!!!

Spelling Test on Friday - December 3rd.

Science Unit Quiz on Tress & Forests this Friday.

Science Project on Trees and Forest are due on December 3rd.


Our Learning in all subject areas:

MATH: Today we reviewed how to create and calculate the perimeter of many common polygons.

Some examples we worked on were, triangle, square, rectangle, hexagon, L-shaped hexagon.


LA:

Students practiced to apply purposeful questioning as a strategy during reading tasks.

The goal is to have students ask questions before during and after reading a text.

This strategy aims to achieve a higher level of engagement.

This week and in two weeks we are doing 2 more reading assessments and would love to see students

 scores improve by showing more deeper level thinking.
