5V News

Holiday book swap and celebration:
We will have a holiday book swap and celebration on Thursday, December 22nd.  Our 5V room parents will be contacting you regarding what you can contribute if you'd like.  I'd also like to do a book swap.  I'm hoping each student can bring in a new or nearly new wrapped book (without a name) to share with the class.  Each student will leave with a new book to read over the vacation.  As always, feel free to contact me if you are unable to contribute a book. 

We are learning about:
  •  Early European explorers
  •  Personal narratives
  •  Long division
  •  Mysteries
Some activities we did this week:
  • Practiced long division
  • Practiced more long division!
  • Learned the qualities of mysteries
  • Previewed and chose mystery book group books
  • Met with our book groups to discuss our reading
  • Researched our explorer online
  • Experimented with Glogster
  • Began creating a "glog" on our explorer
  • Enjoyed our visit with Mr. Baldasaro and learned about quality blog posts and comments
  • Planned our personal narratives
  • Brainstormed how writers show movement through time in their stories
Reminders:
  • Early release- Wednesday, November 14th
  • Chorus concert- Thursday, December 15th at 6:30
  • Early release- Friday, December 22nd
