Team Philosophy: We are here to learn, grow, and enjoy our time together. We can be most successful if each of us accepts responsibility for being honest, being respectful, and giving our best efforts to the tasks at hand.
Communication Arts
We began Theme 2 this week in our Reading textbook. Theme 2 is entitled "Give it all you Got!" Our first selection was about Michelle Kwan and climbing her way up to the Olympics! In addition to practicing several reading strategies, we began a new form of writing a narrative. Also, we are working on mini-lessons for spelling and grammar!
Weekly Skills Focus:

Math
We use the Everyday Math program through 5th grade in Neosho. Students will usually have one "Math Boxes" assignment and one Study link per daily lesson. Study links will go home daily and will be due the following morning. Typically there will be four study links per week. We are beginning Unit 4 which mostly covers division. Out preferred method is to use traditional Long division algorithm or column method algorithm. Since Everyday Math introduces division with partial quotients, it is okay if students use it on homework or quizzes unless otherwise instructed, however, they are encouraged to use long or column.
Science
We have started a new science curriculum called Interactive Science. Students have received a new write-in text book. We hope all will enjoy science and learn more than ever before through inquiry activities.
We have started Chapter 5 in which the students will be learning about the major body systems. This is a major unit and we will be getting through it in two weeks. Our target testing date is November 20, before we leave for Thanksgiving Break.
