Compound Word Day! 

Check out all of these great compound words! The students had a blast showing off how creative they could be!

Pumpkin Adjectives and Measurement 

Students created their own pumpkin and then used adjectives to describe it. They got to feel, touch, and taste a pumpkin.  Students also practiced measuring in inches. They measured the height, width, circumference, and weight of a variety of pumpkins. Thank you parents for donating the pumpkins. 

Halloween Measurement

Students practiced estimating and measuring several spooky items with their inch ruler. They then "stretched" their items and measure them again. 

Classroom Update: October 5-9

I can’t believe we have finished our first 9 weeks of school! We had another busy week of learning. Next week, we will be busy preparing for Conference Week and finishing up some last minute activities. Just a reminder that we will have 12:15 dismissal the week of October 19-23. Also, please make sure your child attends the conference with you. They will be leading the conference and sharing their leadership notebooks with you. I will then share some assessment scores and report cards with you.

Students practicing our new addition strategy- Expanded Form. 

This week in Science Lab, students had the opportunity to make ice cream! What a fun way to end our unit on Matter.

This week we spent some time taking the Scholastic Reading Inventory and the Scholastic Math Inventory on the laptops. These are two of the assessments your child will be required to take two times a year. These assessments are a way to assess your students reading level and math level. The students did an awesome job with these assessments. I will share the results with you at conference.
