Week of October 19-23, 2009

This week we chose stories to publish during Writer's Workshop and prepared for our Publishing Party on Monday. In Reader's Workshop we learned how to choose "Just Right Books." Ask your child about the Five-Finger Rule. In Science we set up our Interactive Notebooks so we can record all of our observations and experiments that we have been doing. Some of our grapes did turn into raisins. Check with your scientist to find out which experiment made them change the fastest. We also set up our Worm Farm with the help of Ms. Hansen's 4th graders. In math we continue to practice writing number stories and finding different combinations for the same number. We also flipped a coin and recorded how many times it landed on heads and tails to practice writing tally marks and to talk about probability.
