I hope you and your family had a wonderful time together thinking about all the things we have to be thankful for. I am thankful to be here at Shades Cahaba, spending my days with these wonderful children!
Reading - I loved seeing how many students came back today having completed the book they were reading! We will finish Tiger Rising tomorrow with a test on the vocabulary and parts of the book on Wednesday. We will then begin The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
Language - Our focus this week will be on expository writing. The students will be writing about the impact that the explorers made on the Native Americans, proving to me not only what great writers they are but what they learned in history as well.
Math - The students will be finishing up this multiplication menu with a test on Thursday before moving on to division.
Alabama History - We are talking about the Creek War this week. We'll discuss the major battles and the reasons behind the war.
Science - Our focus continues to be on force and motion, specifically the potential, kinetic and transfer of energy involved in collisions of our Hot Wheels cars.
If your child has not yet told you about the new chairs in our classroom, make sure to ask! :)
