Reading  = This week, we are going to incorporate more technology within our non fiction text feature research.  We will also look at the mentor text: Italian Americans.  Some aspects we will look at will be: preface, appendix, dictionary, glossary, and timeline.  If you child is reading a nonfiction book at home please have them do the same.

Writing = Drafts are moving and we will be peer revising and editing at the beginning of this week.  Team Meyer was allowed the option of typing or writing their writing piece.  Many chose to type which will make for quick publishing process at the end of the week.  I am very thankful of Team Meyer's patience with learning new ways of thinking about writing with our Chromebooks.  

Math = We are working through our last lessons in Chapter 4 and will possibly testing early next week.  We will be multiplying with regrouping, by multi-digit number, and across zeros.  Please ask your child about their Must/May do choices.  They have been doing a great job!

Spelling = Team Meyer and their Words their Way spelling groups are working hard.  They will receive new words on Monday, work with their words throughout the week, and be tested on Friday.

PBL= Last week, we worked on our Showing Kindness posters.  We even talked about giving each other specific feedback to improve our drafts.  This week we will be publishing them!  Be ready to see them in the halls soon!  Also, thank you for those of you who have sent in donations for our pet drive!  Remember we have until the end of the month for this!
