 Wow, I cannot believe that is it November already! Time flies when you are having fun, right?


Here is what room 2 has been digging into so far this week. 

Language Arts: We have been focusing our writing and learning around remembrance day. Today we started a flip book where we are tightening our sentence structures while discussing this very important day. Our new words of the week is up and you can check them out below. Students will have a spelling test on November 13th. I have been very pleased with the progress being made with their spelling! Literacy centers have been going so well. Students are learning comprehension strategies and building vocabulary while listening to and connecting to our class novel "Forth Grade Rats".















Mathematics: The grade 3s and 4s have been really showing me their knowledge of numbers and place value. We are able to represent numbers in standard and expanded forms. Word forms are coming along, and today we practiced showing a number using symbols. A fun game you can play at home to help strengthen this learning is "Place Value War". Ask you child how you play this game!

Friday, students will be showing me what they have learned by a number representation challenge! More to come to show their progress! 

Science: This week in science the focus has been on testing different types of beams! Ask you child about the types of beams we tested and which held the most weight. :)
