What a great Halloween week! Thanks to the families who signed up to bring treats for our celebration, as well as those who sent along a little something extra in an impromptu fashion. We appreciate your generosity! Next week is Camp Edwards... the weather looks great for our trip.
Reading: We finished the last story of our "Growing Up" unit in Treasures and did some great vocab work this week. They really need practice in using a dictionary, identifying parts of speech, etc. The question I received the most was "Mrs. Roskos, conflicted isn't in the dictionary, can I use conflict?" We'll continue to address prefixes, suffixes, and root words, and how they affect the meaning and usage in a sentence.
I also modeled how to write a response with text support to the question "How did _______ show that s/he changed or grew during the story?" Then the students worked with their tables to answer that question with text support for one of the five stories we read during this unit.
4th Grade Math: We wrapped up Unit 3 this week; their test will be on Wednesday 11.7.12 (they are off on Tuesday). We will review in class Monday and they'll bring home their in-class review as well as the learning goals sheet for you to help them practice.
