Thank you and After Thanksgiving...

Hi 4S,
Thank you so very much for my birthday treats!  How thoughtful of you all!  You helped to make my day so special!

Here's what is coming up after Thanksgiving Break...

Reading:  No flexible grouping until after Winter Break.  We will continue to work on reading strategies such as: main idea/details, text features, summaries, fact/opinion, inferencing, etc..  with National Geographic For Kids and short passages. We will also have some fun with Reader's Theaters to work on fluency, expression, and oral reading.  After Winter Break we will continue with our flexible grouping.

After Thanksgiving Break, the children will work for at least two weeks on their Animoto book reports.  Make sure you ask your child about this fun way to present their book via technology!

Math:  Flexible Grouping.  We will focus on Area and Perimeter for the three weeks before Winter Break.

Writing:  Parts of speech.  After winter break we will start our Persuasive Writing Unit.

Science:  We will wrap up chapter one with Animal Adaptations.

Social Studies:  We will finish studying the Northeast Region and will assess before Winter Break.  After Winter Break, we will start our Government Unit!

Have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving Break!  I am so thankful for having such a great class this year!  You make me smile every single day!  I look forward to seeing all of you in a week!

Mrs. Schroeder
