October

So far October has been a busy month in our class. We finished our read aloud Stone Fox and watched the movie. We had some great discussions about the book throughout the month. Afterwards, we compared and contrasted the book to the movie.

We also finished Unit 1 in math and started Unit 2. Unit 2 is all about interpreting different forms of data. We have worked with bar graphs, frequency tables, and picture graphs. Next week will finish the unit by studying line plots. 
The class will review Unit 2 for two days and then we plan on taking our test on Friday.

We also finished our first formal writing piece. The class wrote paragraphs. Most of the kids wrote something about Halloween but a few chose different subjects. Everyone worked really hard. Next week we will start learning about writing a personal narrative. 

In social studies we started learning about the different regions in Massachusetts. We started with Cape Cod. While we learn about each region we are marking up our maps of Massachusetts. We are learning that map making can be a little tricky :)
