November 18-22
"November is chill, frosted mornings with a silver sun rising behind the trees, red cardinals at the feeders, and squirrels running scallops along the tops of the gray stone walls."
Students began the day by rereading Roberto Clemente: Pride of the Pittsburgh Pirates to themselves or in partners. Then they responded to our Essential Question about the traits of a hero. I'm so impressed with the improvement I see in students' writing over the past few weeks. Their thoughts are more organized with text evidence to support their answers.
We'll have our spelling test on Wednesday. Students have two more assignments due before then. We won't have another pretest until after Thanksgiving break. :)
Students will have a Home Link on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Please see their homework for the Daily Learning Objective.
Students are excited about performing a Thanksgiving play in the classroom this week. We will do some other fun holiday activities throughout the week.
Have a fabulous week! :)

November 4-8
"In November, the trees are standing all sticks and bones. Without their leaves, how lovely they are, spreading their arms like dancers. They know it is time to be still."
Students loved reading with their PEA Buddies this morning. We won't see them again until December so we savored our time with them today. We also read Pop's Bridge and practiced creating Venn Diagrams to compare and contrast characters.
No school tomorrow due to Parent Conferences. I look forward to seeing you all!
Spelling test on Wednesday. Students should turn in two spelling assignments that day.
We will continue working in Unit 3 of our EDM program. Students will have Home Links on Monday and Wednesday evenings. Please see the Daily Learning Objective on each Home Link to understand our most recent math goals.
We are all very excited about our LegoLand Field Trip on Thursday. Please remember to send your child with a lunch that day unless you signed up for a meal from the Cafeteria.

"When witches go riding, and black cats are seen, the moon laughs and whispers, 'tis near Halloween."

"There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October."
We began the week with a warm, breezy day. Students were excited to share their feelings and stories from the weekend at Morning Meeting.
This is the second week of the spelling cycle so students have two assignments due before the test on Wednesday. Please see your child's spelling menu for homework ideas and test information.
Students are working diligently on math standards in Unit 2. Please see your child's Home Link each night for the daily Learning Objective. I'm very impressed with my students' ability to solve multi-step number stories... especially those that involve two different operations. They love collaborating on challenging problems while using whiteboards and manipulatives.
Information about our upcoming walking field trip went home today. The field trip permission form will be sent home later this week. Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

"The goldenrod is yellow
The corn is turning brown
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down."
I can't believe we've reached the end of September! What a wonderful month we've had together. Students have continued to work hard and treat each other well. I couldn't ask for a nicer class. :)
Students took a spelling pretest this morning. Their new rule features vowel-consonant-silent e words. Their pretest and new words will go home with them tomorrow. They will have a spelling assignment due on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Please refer to the spelling menu for homework choices and the spelling test date (10/9).
We will begin Unit 2 in math this week. In this unit, children make sense of one and two step number stories involving all four arithmetic operations. They represent situations with diagrams, arrays, pictures, words and number models. Students will improve their problem solving strategies and further their understanding of solving number stories. Please see your child's Home Link each night for our daily Learning Objective.
Students will complete their Square One art projects this week. They will start their rough draft today and then work on the final design over the next four days. I look forward to seeing their creativity!
We will continue studying the seven continents, four main bodies of water and understanding the cardinal directions this week. Students will finish their Not a Box presentations and work on giving "glows and grows" to their classmates. We will use a rubric to reflect on our experience as well.

September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer."

What a beautiful, warm day to start our week! Students practiced bus evacuations this morning. These practice drills help students to know what to do in the event of an bus emergency. The kids did a great job listening and following the bus driver's directions.
We will finish Unit 1 in math on Wednesday. We will review for the test on Thursday and a study packet will go home that evening. Students should be prepared for a test on Friday. Please see your child's Home Link each night for the daily Learning Objective.
We will have our first spelling test on Wednesday. Students should complete two spelling assignments before then. Please remind your child to check the Spelling Menu for creative homework ideas.

Students are preparing their Not a Box presentations currently. They are working hard to create and show their quality work. We will continue working on our Community PBL when this particular project ends.
Students have been enjoying the Seesaw activities. Please contact me if you haven't connected yet and need the link or QR code to join. As a parent, you can "like" your student's posts and comment on their work.
Students are excited for our next STEAM activity with Ms. Carlozzi on Friday. :)

"'Tis like the birthday of the world,
When earth was born in bloom;
The light is made of many dyes,
The air is all perfume:
There's crimson buds, and white and blue,
The very rainbow showers
Have turned to blossoms where they fell,
And sown the earth with flowers."
We had a wonderful start to our week with the 5th grade band and chorus concert. Both students and teachers enjoyed listening to the lovely music. I love watching my former students and encourage this year's class to get involved in music in the coming years.
We will finish our math assessment in class today. Students will not have homework tonight, but please expect a Home Link for the rest of the week. Our daily Learning Objective is always posted on homework for parents to view.
Students were introduced to our Space PBL today. Our Driving Question is: How would you justify which planet is most sustainable for life if Earth were to become uninhabitable? Students will begin their research this afternoon.
We have a field trip to the high school on Wednesday morning to see their production of The Jungle Book. We are all excited about this event.
Students are working hard on their Immigration journals. They are currently at their port cities, but are boarding their steamships this afternoon. :) They are all hoping for a smooth trip to America.
