We had another
great week of learning together!
In Math, we
practiced building rectangles with tiles and we wrote rectangle riddles for
other students to solve. It was fun to try and solve all the riddles! We also
took some assessments about what is a rectangle is and how many faces are on a
shape. We made rectangular prism boxes with a partner too! They used great
teamwork!

In Science, we started
a new unit on reptiles. They knew a lot of facts and were so excited to learn
more, which is wonderful! We went over the special reptile characteristics and
learned about the four main groups. The four groups are turtles, crocodilians,
snakes, and lizards. We also made a cool folder and sorted reptiles into
different categories. We read some cool books too!
In Writing, we
worked on persuasive writing. We talked about our opinions and how we can try to
convince someone else to think the way we do. Next, we chose a topic from a cup
such as crayons or staplers. Then we wrote about how useful the objects are and
why we are thankful for them. They all did a nice job with their ideas!

In Reading
We also read books
with our 5th grade buddies!
In the backpack folders
today you will find the Parent Conference Confirmation paper. Please check over
your day and time to make sure it still works for you.
Remember there
will be no school Monday for Veteran’s Day and then the teachers will have
Professional Development on Tuesday, so I will see the students on Wednesday.
I hope you have a
wonderful, long weekend!
