Hello all!

I hope everyone is having a good late start. I just thought I would check in with you all about what room 25 has been up to since back to school night.

Writing: we are working on an imaginative October piece about monsters. It is a really fun piece and they will publish their stories in their very own book. Hopefully they will be on display in the library in the month of November and the. We will send them home. They are working hard on revising their work to make good writing great.

Math We are working on our more complicated addition and subtraction skills. We are looking at 3 digit numbers and experimenting with ways to add and subtract them. We are currently using a mats, strips and units strategy to more easily see place value and see what “borrowing” really means in subtraction. The traditional algorithm is on the way!

Reading We are fully in our daily 5 routine. Students are making reading and writing goals and they are using their time to work toward these goals. I spend my time conferencing with students about what they are working on. Check out the volunteer post if you might be interested in being part of a book club.

Storyline Our newest storyline will be starting in November!
