Classroom Happenings-10-29-13

 Reading-We are getting close to the end of our read aloud City of Ember! We have really enjoyed reading this class book together, ask your child to tell you about it. We should be able to watch the movie this Friday! Writing-This week in writing we have been working on a piece about our Explorer that we are going to use to create an online Voki. We read mentor texts like Diary of a Worm and Atlantic  to help us use creative strategies in our own writing of our Explorer.  Math-We are beginning a unit called How Many Packages? How Many Groups? I will send an email out with more information about this math unit.   Content-We are finishing up our study of Explorers and about to begin studying about the colonization of our country!
