This week in Reading and Writing Workshop...
We will continue our learning about nonfiction text.  We know Readers read to learn! Writers can also write to teach readers something they know a lot about!  We will examine the features of nonfiction and create a list of ways readers use these features.  We will read nonfiction books about Pumpkins this week, and we will write facts we have learn as we read. 


This week in Math workshop...
This week (Monday and Tuesday) we are going to do a fun graphing activity. If a few families could donate a bag of candy (either one kind of candy or a bag with different kinds) that would be fantastic.  We are going to do some real life learning with candy! Thanks in advance!
We will also start learning about Subtraction and Doubles.  We will explore what subtraction means by acting out subtraction stories and using manipulatives.  Also in this unit, the students will begin thinking about how addition and subtraction are connected.

This week in Science...
We will be exploring patterns of movement!  The students always love this unit!  We will learn all about the many different ways objects can move.  We will demonstrate, observe and record as we learn.

This week in Social Studies...
We will learn about culture.  We will discuss the many diverse cultures that are represented in our classroom.  We will also discuss family traditions and customs from these different cultures.

Our Life Skill of the week is Responsibility! Responsibility is knowing when it is appropriate to respond, taking care of your obligations, and holding yourself accountable for your own actions. 

That's all for now! Have a great week!
