It's almost time for parent teacher conferences. If you are interested in having a conference, please click on this link to sign up by Wednesday, October 24th. Students have been working hard on their electronic portfolio that they will be presenting to you during your scheduled conference. I will send a conference confirmation after October 24th.
Take a look at what our student reporters wrote on our blog this weeek:
Language Arts: The American Revolution
What type of book is Divided Loyalties?
What did you learn about the American Revolution from reading Divided Loyalties?
I learned that the American Revolution split up families because of which side they were on. Either the British who wanted America not to be independent or the Americans who wanted to be independent.
-Maximus
It was fun to read in Divided Loyalties that the Boston Massacre started when a soldier got hit with a snowball.
-Randy
Divided Loyalties is a readers theater book. A readers theater book is a play, but as a book, so it gives you information.

Math:
What are you learning about in math?
In math we are doing “Pascal's Triangle.” It has a lot of patterns and math in it. Some kids don’t like it but I think it is really fun and it helps your brain grow.
-Madi
We are learning about ¨pemdas¨ which is an order of operation you can do to solve math problems.
-Maximus
In math me are learning about PEMDAS and pemdas is:
Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction. We are also learning about Pascal’s triangle.
-Madylyn
I learned about pemdas and what it means. I also learned about triangles.
-Rebecca
In math, we are learning about the acronym, PEMDAS. PEMDAS stands for Parentheses, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. PEMDAS is a very helpful acronym, and has helped me solve very difficult equations.

Read Aloud: Wonder:
What happened in the chapters in Wonder that we read this week?
What strategies could you have used from Second Step that would have made Auggie feel more welcome in his new school?
We read more of Wonder this week, and it’s escalated to more of a problem. Julian is one of the kids giving Auggie (Main character) a tour. On the tour, there’s Jack Will, Charlotte, and Julian. Jack Will and Charlotte are kind to August, and respect that he looks different. Julian then brings up, “What happened to your face?” To ask a “question.” Mr.Tushman said that they should ask questions, but that was not the right thing to ask. It hurts people. Julian is one of those kids who act nice in front of adults, and different without. We have kids in our school with differences, too! They are kind, and just kids that shouldn’t be hearing such talk at that age, like Auggie. What I would do if I was in Julian’s place, I would ask him about school! He’s new so you shouldn’t make them feel unsafe, or scared to go to school. It’s nice to start off light with questions, not too much. I would start off with something like, “Is homeschooling like our school?” or “Do you feel comfortable at school?” You need to get to know them so they aren’t alone, especially if they’re self conscious.

Something that happened in Wonder is that Auggie went to school for the first time. Something you could say to Auggie to welcome him is, “What is your favorite subject?”

Wolves on the Prowl:

This week in wolves we hiked Gile mountain in Norwich. At the top, there was a fire tower. We all got to climb to the top! As we climbed down, it started to hail! This hike was are first official wolves trip.

This week in Wolves On The Prowl, we learned that we need to be quiet and respectful on the bus to and from where we are going to do Wolves. This week we did a hike. We hiked Mt. Gile, and went up the firehouse on the top. Lucky for us, we were allowed to explore the woods. Some of the things we did while exploring were: rock-climbing, racing, playing with sticks in a very small pond, and jumping into large piles of leaves. Playing in nature is a lot more fun than it sounds, so go try it!
