Reading
Our focus this week be on collecting research and learning about text features.  Students will be researching either hippos or the Aldabra Tortoise (both characters in Owen and Mzee).  We'll discuss author's message and relate it to the essential question, "How can stories help us learn life lessons?"

We will focus on shared research.  The students will pull important information from a text and put those facts into an expository paragraph.

Reading Logs - Almost every student returned their September reading log and was able to enjoy a fun lunch in the room!  We will start all over again this month and work toward a new reward as well as a Pizza Hut certificate!  Nice job everyone!

Grammar focus will be on adjectives and action verbs this month.

Math
This week we will focus on place value and two digit addition.  Continue to work on math facts at home.  The students have many fun apps on their ipads to help with this important skill.
