Greetings from Room 116!

I hope that everyone enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving with family and friends. Thank you for ensuring that students returned to school ready to learn. We had a wonderful week, as outlined below:

ELA: We continued our realistic fiction books in guided reading groups, focusing on what is revealed about the characters through their thoughts and words. For grammar and writing, we concentrated on adjectives and description. We also studied the i/igh spelling principle.

Math: We took our mid-Module 3 assessment and worked on 6-10 facts.

Science/SS: We made scientific observations about our bean plants. In addition, we discussed how the Wampanoags adapted to the changing seasons. We also created our own Wampanoag personas, including family roles and names.

Other: In Library/Technology, we worked on our weather scripts and sets. During Calmer Choice, we discussed the power of perspective and optimism, which we reinforced in many ways.

Best wishes to all for a wonderful weekend!

Most Sincerely,

Ms. Feeney
