Watch these announcements on video here.

Mr. Gray’s Class Podcast

Online Permission Slips

Reader’s Workshop

We will continue our unit called “Making Reading a 10 out of 10”. We are reviewing and establishing systems to support reading and learning some basic strategies for thinking while reading fiction books.

Writer’s Workshop

Be sure to check in with your child about their small moment story. For an extra challenge ask your child to open up the rubric and together you can check and see if the writing met all the requirements. We will move on from small moments to Opinion writing next week and start by giving awards to items in a collection.

Math

Math Answers and Help Here

The kids will continue reviewing decimals, get feedback on their decimals quiz, and move on to studying fraction operations.

History

We will continue our study of early humans in particular, hunter gatherer societies and the students will work on their early human timelines. We will review for a short quiz on hunter gatherers on Friday. (We didn’t get to the quiz this week).

Science

The kids will work with Mr. Nelson in science lab and we may start our first unit from our science textbook.

Thank you,

Mr. Gray
