Obert Sky

Obert Sky came and did an assembly for us today. He wrote the Leven Thumps series (great books for 5th graders) and also has a new book out called Pillage. He will be at Barnes & Noble tonight starting at 6 to sign books if you buy or have his books. What a neat experience for your kids to meet an author! I will be at the book signing! Hope to see some of you there! These would be great books to use for our December choice book reports or for our January Fantasy book reports. They could get a head start on reading them now.

What Are We Working On??

Reading - We will spend the year learning and practicing a variety of different reading strategies and reading many different books independently and in small groups.
Writing - We will spend the year writing a variety of different types of stories and learning how to use the 6 + 1 Traits of writing to become better writers.
Read Aloud -Now we have started reading Pillage by Obert Sky. It is a fantasy/mystery book and is very entertaining and thought provoking.
Social Studies - For the next few weeks, we will be working on Biz Town activities for Social Studies. We will be learning how to manage money and how to run and work at a business in our society.
Science - Our next science unit is going to be electricity. We will learn about circuits and how electricity works. We will do a fun electricity house as a final project.
Math - We will be starting our fractions unit. This is a unit that students usually learn a lot of new information that they didn't know before. Please help your children with any homework they are struggling with in this unit.
