Contrasts & Contradictions

This morning the kids had an assembly about math.  See a snapshot left.  Ask your child what they learned about money, at the assembly.

In Readers' Workshop, we learned that when we're reading and a character suddenly does or say something opposite of what they've been saying or doing all along, we have to stop and ask ourselves, "Why is the character doing that?"  The answers to this question help us consider character change and theme.  See some examples of how we use stickies to grow our thinking about "Contrasts & Contradictions" below.  For short, we abbreviate "CC's".

Students took their Unit 2 Math Assessment today.  I'll send home results and grades next week.

In Social Studies, students learned about Veterans Day. They then had time to write a letter to a veteran, thanking them for their service.
