October 14-25

It has been a very productive week!

The weather is getting a bit cooler. Please have your child bring a
few layers of clothes as temperatures do change during the day.

In Math this week, we continued with Topic 4, Numbers through 100.
Next week we will finish this topic and start Topic 5, Counting Money.

In Social Studies, we concluded Chapter 1, Governing the People and
had a quiz. Well done to all the students learning so many challenging
vocabulary words and new concepts!

In English, we continued to practice the writing process by revising
and proofreading our Personal Narratives (please find pictures below).
We also started publishing the writings and will display them on my
blog once they are completed. Next week we will complete the Personal
Narratives and start Unit 3, Nouns and Pronouns.

In Science this week, we started Chapter 2, Animals are Living Things.
We will continue with this next week. For a culminating activity, the
students will be doing a research project where they research an
animal and present their findings to the class.

Congratulations to Ashley Cheng for being this week's Student of the
Week! Ashley is dedicated to finishing all her work and rarely gets
distracted from her studies. Keep up the hard work.
