Next week we will be focusing on the essential question: Why is working together a good way to solve a problem? The strategies that we will be practicing include: making predictions, determining the theme, and antonyms. For writing, we will be finishing up our personal narratives, and if we have time we may begin typing our final drafts.
On Friday we finished up our unit on creating bar graphs, picture graphs, and line plots. In math this week we will be starting multiplication! We will start by focusing on equal groups to multiply numbers. The kids always look forward to learning how to multiply- it is so exciting!
This week we will be celebrating Kayli's birthday! Mrs. Gleason will be gone Friday the 13th for a wedding, and I will be here as the guest teacher again!
Basket Auction
Our basket auction is coming up! Our class picked a “Science and Art” themed basket. Here are some of the ideas that the kids brainstormed to fill our basket.
- Science and art books
- Art or science kits (Hobby Lobby has a ton)
- Paint
- Paint brushes
- Crayons, glue, glitter, stickers, colored paper
- Canvas
- Snap Circuit kit
- Science experiment kit
- Crystal grower
- Plant kits
- Butterfly habitat
- Project Mc2
Money from the basket auction comes right back to our school and is used to purchase different reading programs and pay for things like Brain Pop, Scholastic News, etc. If your family is able to donate anything to our basket that would be wonderful! Thank you for your support! If you have other science or art themed ideas please send them on in. The auction will take place during family fun night on October 27th. I would love to have all our basket items in by Tuesday, October 17th so that we have time to put the basket together and then have it displayed starting on Monday, October 23rd. Thanks so much!! I am also looking for someone to help put the basket together, please let me know if you are interested.
