Greetings from Room 116!

Thank you to everyone who joined us last Monday for the EHBi Grandparent/VIP Breakfast. We are extremely grateful for all your support!!

Here are some other highlights from the past two weeks:

ELA: We practiced clarifying, summarizing, predicting, and questioning strategies with our realistic fiction books. Our comprehension focus was character traits. We are continuing this focus with our new unit which is legends.  During Writer’s Workshop, we published haikus and worked on personal narratives. We also studied the ai and ay spelling principle along with grammar rules for plural nouns.

Math: We practiced traditional algorithms for adding and subtracting multi-digit numbers and solved multi-step, multi-operational story problems. Then we took our End-of-Module 2 assessment.

Science/SS: We added to our understanding of Wampanoag/Pilgrim life during the early 1600’s by visiting Plimoth Plantation last Thursday, thanks to the generous support of our EHBi PTAC. Special shout-outs go to Mrs. Ormon, Mrs. Senatori, and Mr. Angiolillo for chaperoning this event and helping to make it so memorable.

Other: In Technology, we began research on extreme weather conditions. We also enjoyed two Calmer Choice lessons with Mrs. Roza.

Best wishes to all for a peaceful weekend!

Sincerely,

Ms. Feeney
