November 23-25

Happy Thanksgiving!! We have a short week this week. Monday and Tuesday we get out at the normal time, 3:30. Wednesday is a minimum day; we get out at 1:40. I hope you enjoy your break, and enjoy spending time with your family!

Writing: Last week we finished our descriptive writing about Thanksgiving. The students used their 5 senses to describe Thanksgiving. We completed the entire writing process: prewrite, 1st draft, revise and edit, and final copy. We also completed a rubric about our writing. I will be hanging these in the hall after school today if you want to take a look! We will be focusing on writing about things we are thankful for this week.

Reading: This week we will be learning and performing a Thanksgiving readers theater.

Math: We are focusing on carrying and borrowing with double-digit addition and subtraction. Please help students and work on this at home!

This week's math focus:

• Create, model, and solve subtraction problems that involve differences.
• Subtracting two-digit problems.
• Choose the appropriate operation (addition or subtraction) and use it to solve a story problem.
