Our class would like to thank all the parents that helped out with the Halloween Party in ANY way!!! The students had a BLAST with the games and LOVED the snacks that were brought in. Thanks for making some great memories for our kids!!!
Kid with a Cape on the Go! - We've gotten some response from students with pictures of themselves spreading kindness. This initiative was the result of a visit from the author of A Girl with a Cape, Amy Logan. Her message to us was that WE ALL CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE by spreading kindness. Students can take a picture of spreading kindness, with or without their "Kid with a Cape." A photo, drawing, or a written paragraph of the student and the event are alternative activities that can be turned in to the teacher. While this is optional, students have had fun posing with his/her "Kid!
Reading: We will begin to read and work with a story about the singer, Gloria Estefan. We will focus on close reading, text-dependent questions, vocabulary and the concept of making judgments.
Mrs.K's and Mrs. Spakausky's math class: In math this week we will continue Unit Two, Module Three, Multiplication Stories and Strategies. Students investigate the effect of doubling and halving factors in multiplication combinations. The students should also be practicing their multiplication facts nightly. Next, we are working on division with remainders. The students will learn how to divide a 2-digit number by a one digit number with remainders.
