TRAVEL SHOW SPECTACULAR!

What a fantastic job kids did at the Travel Show!  Thanks to all who could make it and support the learning in our first big project.  This week was kind of a transition week as we finished a few projects and prepared for new things starting next week.  Below is a snapshot of next week's work.

Please know the Friday Folder includes Bank Shadowing applications if students wanted them.  There is also a flyer for an annual diversity writing contest.
Enjoy the Travel Show pics below and check out the important dates for some October events.

NEXT WEEK'S LEARNING:
MATH: Our work will continue with  multiplication.  We have covered a few strategies but are focusing on the US Algorithm.  After practicing multiplication up to 3 digit times 2 digit, we will practice division strategies too. This will be the bulk of our practice for this unit. 

SOCIAL STUDIES: We will start our Powwow Theme next week.  This learning will focus on Native American culture.  Historians will work in groups to learn about different regions and cultures.  Then they will choose a NA topic to become experts on and make a museum exhibit for.  There will be a theme packet complete with calendar and assignment ideas in next week's Friday Folder.

READING: We had a couple more days for book share work this week.  We start book clubs next week.  All of our books will focus on NA themes.  Students will have weekly reading and writing assignments for the book club book they are reading.  The assignments will be due weekly. Our reading focus will be on summarizing, making connections, and predictions.

WRITING: We finished our I AM poems this week and they will be displayed in the halls of Grant School.  This creative work will surely wow you!  Our writing this week will be integrated with reading and social studies assignments.  We will also start talking more about our CATTV project.

SCIENCE: We have a couple more field trips to gather science observations.  Then students will be making a presentation of their experiences in the community as we start to discuss our science community project.  We are also looking at out Beeclipse data from the solar eclipse.
