Hi All,

I hope you are enjoying our very fine weather!

This week our class will be reading a story called Marven of the Great North Woods during RTI.
As we read the story we will use various strategies to identify the theme of the story.

In homeroom, our class will begin Module 3 in math. While it starts with area and perimeter, the real focus of this module is multiplication! This module is very long, and will take us well into December.
Throughout Module 3, I will be posting YouTube links that can be accessed through the blog. I highly recommend that you and your child utilize them, as some of the strategies will be new to all. Many of them are pretty cool!

In Science, we will continue our unit on "Energy for Life and Growth", studying decomposers and the food chain.

Finally, conferences are still about a month away, but if you haven't scheduled yours, or need to reschedule, please get in touch ASAP.  I'll be filling in the schedule during the next 1-2 weeks, and with such a large group the days will be very full!

Take care,
Carroll Mayer
