Classroom Update: November 1, 2015



In reading last week, we worked on finding evidence to support a claim about a book. After reading texts as a class, students were asked to stake a claim about the books. They supported these claims by citing specific details from the text.

Students’ mask projects were fantastic! It was wonderful to hear students talk about their masks and engage in discussions about their favorite literary characters. Be on the lookout for the upcoming November book project, to be assigned next week.

In writing, students continue to draft their personal narratives. Last week, our student teacher Mr. Karon led a lesson on parts of speech. Ask your child what they learned about nouns, adjectives, and adverbs!

In math, we have been working on strategies for subtracting on a number line. A number line is a model that helps students visualize the operations of addition and subtraction. This video explains one method for subtracting on a number line: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8g-wDx5Dklw.

In social studies, students have been sketching pieces for their Wampanoag murals. We will be constructing the murals on Wednesday, November 4.
