Week of October 10-14th

With Columbus Day and a Teacher Institute starting off our next week, I'm sure that Wednesday-Friday will go by quickly!

In reading, we will be using our Readers' Theater play for the week, The Three Pigs, to practice checking for understanding and reading with fluency. On Thursday, we will read another version of this story, The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, which is told from the wolf's perspective. Using these two texts, we will practice using a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast them. On Friday, as a fun activity, we will view the video of The Three Little Pigs and compare/contrast them, too.

In math, we are moving along with money and practicing writing amounts of money in different forms (using words, the cents sign, and the dollar sign). We will also continue to add various amounts of change.

In Social Studies we will be starting our Presidental Unit and discuss presidental history, as well as the design and purpose of our government.

Please be sure to check your student's reading log every night to ensure that they are keeping up with their reading.

Have a great extended weekend!
