For those of you who might have left a bit early, I'd like to let you in on what we've been doing the past few days.

Morning Work: Proper Noun Review and Spelling Review Wordsearch

Writing: Monday we wrote the beginning to a story about a confrontation between a woman and a spider. I read a sample beginning by another child after we discussed what qualifies as a good beginning.

Math: We've been reviewing a lot of multiplication (see previous post on multiplication), especially the threes and fours. We've been playing multiplication games as well as a new one called "Division Arrays". You can find directions for that one in your Student Reference book. Finally, we reviewed subtracting with regrouping together using the problems from page 88, however, we wrote out the problems on grid paper. Through these problems we reviewed the trading first method as well as counting up.

Social Studies: We've been working on our Timucua glogs and artwork. We should be ready to share those next week.

Shades of Blue: Mrs. Gasser visited our classroom Monday to help us create our gorgeous quilt! I can't wait to see what it will look like when it's finished!

Reading: I assigned reading questions for your Judy Blume book after we discussed how to respond thoroughly to questions and with good details.

We have an All School Convo this afternoon, which should be lots of fun before we head over to Art with Mrs. Hillmer.

I hope you all enjoy a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving!
Mrs. Neal
