And also remember to bring an ornament for the class tree!

Oh, Christmas Tree!

The holiday season is finally here!
Let's bring into our classroom some holiday cheer.
We have a beautiful tree (thanks Lila!), but it's awfully bare.
So how about you bring in an ornament to share?!
The ornament you bring can be big or quite small,
It could be an angel, reindeer, or even a basketball.
Please bring in an ornament that represents you,
And all of your classmates will bring in one too.
Oh, how beautiful those ornaments will be!
They surely will light up our tree.
Thank you for sharing your special ornament with us.
If you don't have one to share, it's really no fuss!

(Ornaments will be returned before we leave for break.)

This Week in Room 33! Nov. 30- Dec. 4

This week we are discussing random acts of kindness and how we can take small moments to do kind things for others, even strangers! Ask your student what their thoughts are on the following video (we watched this in class today). Enjoy!

This week...

Science: In our science workshop, students will be able to explain how animals are classified based on their characteristics.

Writing: This week we are revising, editing, and publishing their 2nd research report. We will be celebrating our finished work on Wed. Dec. 9th!

Math: This week in math, we are working on multiplying decimals by powers of 10, problem solving by looking at patterns, multiplication properties, estimating quotients, and dividing decimals by whole numbers. 

Social Studies: We are comparing and contrasting the first European and Spanish explorers.

Reading:  We are looking at comparing and contrasting what authors say and how they say it by looking at a variety of texts on the same topic. We will focus on how readers don't just think about information in a text, they also try and figure out the perspective of the author of the text and how they may be swaying you to think a certain way.
