Weekly Update: October 31, 2014


In English Language Arts, we formed book clubs to read realistic fiction chapter books. We learned about how a character’s dialogue, actions, and thoughts tell us about his or her feelings. We also wrote about characters' motivations and traits.

In Social Studies, students made their beautiful murals depicting the Wampanoag tribe in the 1600s (see the post below). Students demonstrated the research that they did during this unit and showed excellent teamwork when working in groups. This week, we also started building some context about the Pilgrims in preparation for our trip to Plimoth Plantation.

In Math, we reviewed telling time on an analog clock. Also, we practiced solving problems using elapsed time using a number line (see below). Today, we played “Monster Math” to practice writing numbers in different forms.


In Writing, students are continuing work on their personal narratives. Today in writing, we took a break from our true stories to create some spooky Halloween writing!


Other News: Our class's wonderful artwork is currently on display in the Dallin Lobby! Also, our tie-dye day was a great success. Thank you all for sending in materials. Also, another big thank you to those of you who helped organize or volunteer today!
