we began our third novel, Charlotte’s Web and we have had a great time learning new vocabulary words and meeting these new characters. In Language Arts we continued to work on verbs in Grammar. We also explored sentence fluency and used a fun PowerPoint and graphic organizers to develop our own sentences. In Math we began our chapter on measurement. We are focusing on standard and non standard units and learning new terms such as millimeter and kilometer. Keep practicing those multiplication facts! I am excited to announce we have had our first badges awarded and the students are thrilled. I am so proud of them! Also, we began math club lunches Monday and Thursday for extra practice and badge quizzes. It was so much fun! In Social Studies we continued with chapter 6 on Government. We are discovering the important parts of a state government and the services and roles the leaders provide to us.

relating to the story and summarizing events that happen. In Language Arts we learned about how to write a diamante poem and created
beautiful examples comparing two characters for the novels we read. In addition,
we celebrated Transportation Day and included the importance of this day in an
essay about our favorite vehicles. In Math we are focusing on standard and non
standard units and learning new terms such perimeter and area. Also, we continued
math club lunches Monday and Thursday for extra practice and badge quizzes. It is
so much fun! In Social Studies read our weekly reader magazine and discovered

practicing our handwriting in our cursive practice books and using our spelling
words in our writing activities.
