In Math, we finished our lesson on number patterns.  I sent home a letter today about how I'll check students' comprehension and assign in-class work for each math lesson.  I hope that this process will allow me to give more help to those struggling and challenge those who need it. 

In Social Studies, we reviewed the parts of a map and talked about how mapmaking today is different from the past.  We discussed how being able to take photographs from space helps us make accurate maps today.

This afternoon, we had our first library and computer lab time.  In the computer lab, the students started working on their typing skills with the website that is on my livebinder website.  Students can practice at home if they want!

Also coming home today is a letter about our field trip to the pumpkin patch!  If you are interested in driving, fill out and return the bottom portion of the letter, or you can just email me about how many children you can take in your vehicle. 

I sent home a summary and opinion worksheet yesterday, and I forgot to clarify what that is for!  That worksheet should be filled out for the book that your child is doing his or her book project on.  My goal in having them do that is to help them feel confident and prepared to share with the class.  I also hope it will speed up our sharing a little bit!  That worksheet is not due until the book project is due.

Homework for today is...
Math p. 10
Spelling p. 13-14
