Second quarter progress reports are going out today. Be sure to look for them in your students backpack. After the Thanksgiving break, we will only have three more weeks of school before the winter break. It's hard to believe but we are close to halfway through the school year. In Communication Arts we are doing a review of our vocabulary. We are still writing themed paragraphs in our journals. We continue to work on our daily language review.
In math we are winding down our multiplication 'Banana Splits', and are planning to finish up within the next couple of weeks.
So, Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Second quarter progress reports will be coming out next week. Now that November is here, it will not be long until the Thanksgiving break. Only three weeks after Thanksgiving we will be having the Winter break. This will mark the end of the first semester. It is hard to believe that the school year is almost half over.
In communication arts we have moved on from Narrative Writing and are beginning the 5 W's and an H of Expository writing (Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How). We are continuing to work on our daily language review, vocabulary, journal writing, and "just right" reading books.
In math we are working on patterns, sequences, standard form, multiplication, and division.
We are looking forward to our Veteran's Day assembly this Friday 11/11, and the holiday season ahead!
