Week 14: Two Digit Division, Finishing Realistic Fiction, and Writing

Welcome to Week 14!  We hope everyone had a restful week away from school.  Back to the grind....

In math this week we will continue to look at division by two-digit divisors.  In particular, students will be dividing with 1-digit quotients (answers), dividing with 2-digit quotients (answers), estimating and dividing greater numbers, and finding missing information within a problem.  The kids have done a great job with math these past few weeks.  We have really pushed through some tough topics and the kids have taken it all in stride.  They are showing great persistence!

In reading we will be completing our study in realistic fiction.  Students will be finishing their realistic fiction novels (if they haven't already) and completing their comprehension packets early this week.  In addition, we will practice some of the concepts that we have been working on throughout this section.  These include summarizing, thick and thin questioning, and understanding why a story is a realistic fiction or not. 

In writing, students will be beginning another section of our writing curriculum.  This time around students will be creating a personal narrative. 

One last note, due to a family situation, Ms. Therriault will not be at school this week.  She will be leaving detailed plans for our fantastic subs and Mr. Woods will be doing his very best to keep everything running as smoothly as it does with Ms. Therriault in the classroom.  Thank you for understanding.

Sincerely,

Allyn and Alaina
