You can either get bitter or you can get better. It’s that simple. You either take what has been dealt to you and allow it to make you a better person, or you allow it to tear you down. The choice does not belong to fate, it belongs to you. ~Josh Shipp

Just a little bit about what is going on in class: Reading-We are enjoying Pax! Last week we did a Today'sMeet with our partner class in Wisconsin to talk about a few happenings in the beginning of the book. This week we will do a Padlet with them to share our thinking. Check our Padlet towards the end of the week to see what we have to say!  Writing-Sticking to a topic will continue to be a focus. Next week we will begin persuasive writing. This is a DOL (Daily Oral Language) week for grammar.  Math-We have started division of bigger numbers. Since we have been practicing and talking about multiplication and division fact families most of the kids are naturally using the multiply up strategy, as our numbers get bigger, the kids will find that the big 7 (or partial quotients) strategy is even more efficient. . Content-Towards the end of the week, we will be making and wiring our houses! We will also have a quiz on circuits at the end of the week.  Technology-Since last week was digital citizenship week, check out parent handouts form Common Sense Media for things you can do at home to promote good online habits.
