Math
We finished The Great Graphing Project this week, and ended Unit 2 with our test on Thursday. See some of our finished graphing projects below! Unit 3 involves multiplication and division. We will begin Unit 3 with timed multiplication quizzes, starting with our 2's facts on Monday. Students will graduate through their facts in sequential order: 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's, etc. to the 12's. There are many resources on the Moodle to help students in practicing these facts. One of the best math resources is IXL.
Reading
This week we practiced retelling and making good summaries with our read aloud. We made sure that we knew the difference between the two. We also went to the library on Thursday for a lesson called, "Celebrating Native American Culture." We read examples of Native American folklore, which fit in perfectly with the Storyworks play we read and the study of Native Americans in Social Studies!
Writing/Spelling
We have completed our realistic fiction unit and will celebrate when all students have finished typing/publishing. We will start our persuasive essay unit on Monday! In Spelling, we are finished with our second homophones set. I will be holding students accountable for spelling these words correctly in writing. After Thanksgiving break, we will resume with the yellow, green, and blue group spelling words.

Science/Social Studies
In Chapter 3, we are currently learning about Missouri's first people. We discussed prehistory and the Ice Age. We learned about different Native American tribes such as the Adena, Hopewell, and Mississippians. On Friday, we reviewed timelines. We are making a class timeline on the history of Missouri!

Finally, it was another busy week! Pictures of Veteran's Day were posted Monday. Below are pictures of our day with first grade buddies on Wednesday. We reviewed Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind. And Mrs. Maddock came in this week for a great lesson on bullying. Students were to reflect on this lesson in their reflection journals. We discussed great strategies to use in preventing bullying. Below is a picture of the different strategies in which we were in the process of ordering from easiest to hardest strategies for us to use.
