Happy Friday!! (Gabrielle)

We have had a test-y week (Sneha) We did a Cogat test. They were 10 minutes each. They were on different math puzzles and reading skills (Joey). The tests felt like a longgggg time but they were only 10 minutes. We learned a lot from them (Jacklyn).

In reading this week we just finished Humphrey this week.(Daniella) It was a really funny book and we would like to recommend it to people who have a good sense of humor  (Antonio). We started a new book and eventually in the book Sam realizes that the school is ALIVE (Hemi) The book is called Eerie Elementary - The School is Alive. We have also been reading fables. Fables are short stories with morals (Cayden). Some examples are The Mouse and the Lion, The Tortoise and the Hare, The Little Red Hen, The Stork and the Fox (Joey and Isabella).

In writing we have been doing the beginning, middle, and end to our personal narrative (Jacklyn). it has been helping us a lot by writing (Jacklyn). Joey's mom came in today and she helped us with our writing in our fizzle books (Faris).

In math we had our Geometry test. We rocked it!! (Huai) We are off of geometry and working on some review stuff (Sneha). Our next unit is going to be multiplication and we are very excited to do it! (Brendan)

Have a nice weekend!
Love, Miss Sullivan's class

Geometry Power Week

G'day mate (Gianluca)

In reading this week we have been working on character traits and the character feelings (Huai). We have also been working on reading our just right books and building stamina (Daniella). We have been reading two books and one of them is funny...it is called The World According to Humphrey (Katharine). Another book we are reading is called Because of Winn Dixie. This book is about a girl who helps a dog named Winn Dixie and they become best friends who have adventures (Jacklyn).

In writing we have been writing our personal narratives. Mostly everyone is still writing the beginning and middle (Gabrielle). Today we were teaming up with partners and the partners helped up fix or add on to our story (Sneha). We will continue working in our partnerships throughout the writing process (Miss Sullivan).

In math we have been working with shapes. Our unit is called geometry (Brandy). We learned about what a polygon is (Faris) - a closed 2d figure with straight lines and more than three sides (whole class).

In social studies  we have been learning about citizenship and how to respect others (Brendan). We made posters of how to be a good citizen and they are displayed in our classroom! (Huai)
