This week in Reading I went into Mrs. Cornfield's, Mrs. Micetich's and Mrs. Sis's classrooms. We worked on a Character Counts project and learned about Respect. The children made a class quilt. Each child made a square to represent themselves. We also made a turkey project for Thanksgiving.

This week we completed our chapter on addition strategies and we moved on to the next chapter on subtraction strategies. We are now working with using a number line to subtract. We will learn other strategies next week.

This week in Reading we worked on a Reading/Writing workshop. The children wrote a persuasive letter asking their parents for a pet. They worked on writing an opening, middle and closing paragraph. They worked very hard and they were very persuasive.
Math
We continued to work on addition with and without regrouping. We solved problems by using a table and also by using mental math. We will be having our chapter test next week.
