Literacy- We are noticing progress with fluency and decoding in our reading groups. Students wrote their own stories in Writing Workshop, focusing on a beginning, middle and end. We are sharing the stories with each other.
Math- We will begin a unit on solid figures including cubes, cylinders, pyramids, spheres, rectangular and triangular prisms and cones.
Bible- November's Bible verse is, "Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; Give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations. " Psalm 100: 4-8. Next week we will read a few psalms that were written by David. We will also talk and write about things we are thankful for.
