With that said, the kids will get time to play on their OWN device this upcoming Tuesday from 1:30 - 2:30pm (Our field trip is the same day from 8:45am - 1:15pm). Rules and Guidelines that students must follow when bringing their own device are in an email that I sent out today. Please, read over these rules and guidelines with your child.

- Bluebonnet Book Program: Our class's goal for each student to read 5 books! The Bluebonnet Program goes until mid-January so we have plenty of time to read, read, read. So, let's get to it!

What's Been Happening In Class?
- Writing: We learned the structure of an Expository Writing Essay. Then, used this structure to begin our own expository essay. Feel free to ask your child to bring his/her writing journal home so you can see all of our writing this year!!
- Reading: We are deep into our Nonfiction Unit in Reading. We spent the week really diving into Main Idea using a variety of activities (Main Idea Cones, The Wonderful Octopus) and reading on Newsela.
- Math: We started our next unit ....Fractions! We learned a ton of vocabulary: Unit Fraction, Denominator, Numerator, Fraction Bars, Area Model, Fraction Set, Equal Parts, Whole, Half, Fourth, Eighth, Thirds, Sixths. We'll continue next week on Fractions as we explore using a number line to represent fractions too (think...a ruler) and comparing fractions. This test will be after Thanksgiving Break.
- Science: We started our next unit: Forces, Gravity, Magnetism and Simple Machines. Much of this unit is doing various hands-on experiments. It is critical that your child be here for Science time (1:45 - 2:45pm) each day. Thank you. The test for this unit will be after Thanksgiving break.
- Social Studies: We watched a PBL video called "Plastic Planet", discussed it as a class, and completed some response questions in our notebooks. We also went to our school's Veteran's Day Assembly to celebrate and honor our country's veterans.
