Class News:
Reading & Social Studies - We will finish reading In Their Own Words: Lewis and Clark.   We continue to write down important dates and are also learning that Lewis and Clark weren't very good spellers. Each day we read we focus on comprehension and vocabulary words in addition to any other activity we are doing.

Math - We continue to work on multiplication.  This week we will work on writing Halloween multiplication stories.

Science- We continue with our sound unit . We will have the opportunity to make our own panpipes. Finally we will learn about echolocation and the role of audiologists.

Language - We continue to work on nouns.  We are learning about possessive nouns.  We also published a Halloween poem and they are displayed on the bulletin boards in the commons.  Make sure to look at them during parent/teacher conferences.
