| A Mixed-Up Halloween with our friends from Room 21! |
Happy Halloween from Room 20! We had an incredible week that ended with an awesome Halloween!
In math, we worked hard to learn and practice traditional addition and subtraction, even with zeros in the top number! We took our Topic 4 test on Thursday and tried to avoid the "WATCH OUT" careless errors that we listed earlier last week.
In writing, we've started thinking about our fiction stories! We watched a Pixar short video called "Partysaurus Rex," to see an example of a "seed" fiction story. If we watched "Toy Story," that would be a watermelon, for example. We wrote "back-of-the-book blurbs" for "Partysaurus Rex" that included the setting, characters, and the problem. In the computer lab, we typed them up as our first Google document!
We've been reading more of The Sisters Grimm as well! We started working in small groups based on what we think the theme of the book is (from what we've read so far). We have groups for the themes of "courage," "determination," "perseverance," and "kindness." We're collecting evidence from the book as we read to prove that we've chosen the best theme! We can't wait to read more next week.
For Halloween, we celebrated by having a short Mix-it-Up Day with our friends from Room 21. We completed some Halloween math activities and worked on following written directions to create origami masterpieces!
Next week is November! We can't wait to see what we'll do in the next week / month!
