Happy Thanksgiving!

In Readers' Workshop, students completed a pre-assessment.  By the end of our next unit, we want students to be able to read informational text, consider and identify authors' points of view and bias, and support their thinking with evidence from text.

In Writers' Workshop, students either finished typing their personal narratives or blogged about their book club books, just right books, and our read aloud, The One and Only Ivan.

In Math Workshop, students applied their understanding of perimeter to solve for unknown sides involving fractions. Students' Unit 2 Math Assessment is coming home today.  Please review the assessment with your child and return at your earliest convenience.  Additionally, please note that the "open response" was not included in students' grades as dictated by Harford County.  Furthermore, we will do the "fact acquisition" portion when students return from Thanksgiving. The fact acquisition is a separate grade.

In Social Studies, we finished closely reading the Bill of Rights.  After each amendment, we tried to "get the gist", jotting down notes in the margins to make sense of the Bill's complex writing.

Homework:

• Read 20 minutes 

Reminders:

• Please sign and returns Unit 2 Math Assessment at your earliest convenience.
• No school for students next week.  Have a very safe and happy Thanksgiving!
• Play First in Math, if possible.  We are gaining ground.  Encourage your child to play over the next week.  We could come back from Thanksgiving in first place!
