"November comes
And November goes,
With the last red berries
And the first white snows.
With night coming early,
And dawn coming late,
And ice in the bucket
And frost by the gate.
The fires burn
And the kettles sing,
And earth sinks to rest
Until next spring."- Elizabeth Coatsworth
We began the week by welcoming our new student Charles to our classroom. He has moved to Exeter from Atlanta, Georgia and we are all doing our best to make him feel welcome.
We will finish Unit 3 in math this week. Today we developed the adding-a-group strategy for solving unknown multiplication facts. Tomorrow we will practice the subtracting-a-group strategy. On Wednesday we will use all four operations to generate equivalent names for numbers. We will review for the test on Thursday and the assessment will be given the following day. Students will have a Home Link on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with a Review packet for Thursday night's assignment. Please look for the Family Letter to come home this week to prepare parents for our upcoming Unit on Measurement and Geometry.
We began our new read aloud today. Please ask your child about The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo.
We will be studying the Native Americans of the Eastern Woodlands this week. Students will build a deeper understanding of the connection between the biome they lived in and how it affected their way of life.
Have a fantastic week! :)
