Math:

This week we finished our subtraction unit and took a test1 You should see these in Friday Folders. They did a great job! Next week we will begin our multiplication unit, which truly is my favorite! We will begin by exploring what multiplication is through a problem solving unit. Eventually, we will start memorizing multiplication facts, but not right off the bat. 

Writing:

We are in the FINALLY in the publishing stage of our personal narratives. Next week we will be working on writing an essay for Veteran's Day called "What America Means to Me". One third grader will be chosen to read his or her essay at our Veteran's Day assembly!

Reading:

We started our new read aloud called The Kid Who Ran for President! It is a great fictional book about what would happen if a kid decided to run for president. We are also going to be learning about the election process through this book! 

I hope everyone has a great three day weekend and a safe Halloween!
