Reading & Writing: 
During reading, we have been working on using background knowledge to understand what we read. We also read a monster story to prepare for our writing. We finished our first narrative writing piece, and students have now started a fun "Monster writing" piece. Please see the form in the Friday Folder about supplies for creating a monster on Tuesday, Oct. 31 in class. As always, if you have extra supplies and are willing to donate, there will probably be someone who can use them.

Math:
We tested today, so we will begin Unit 3 next week and take the STAR math test.

Social Studies: 
This week, kids chose a state to research and make a poster about. The kids did really well with the project. I will be displaying these at school.

Science:
We finished matter last week, so we have started talking about Space Systems.
