Classroom Happenings:
This week in literacy, students focused on fluency and expression while reading.  As we're starting to tackle larger books, it's important for us to think about the sound of our voice, both while we read in our heads and out loud!  This week in writing, students also formed an opinion about a favorite book and will now work on strengthening reasons why this particular book is their favorite!

In Math Module 4, students are adding and subtracting three digit numbers, with more fluency.  See which strategy your student shows you to add 368 + 245! 

Our Properties of Materials: Designing Glue Unit kicked off this past week!  Students have been tasked with designing a glue that can be used in Mr. Kriefall's Art class.  This past week, students started the engineering process by first observing and testing two different Mystery Glue substances.  This first investigation allowed students to see that different materials have different properties. 

Reminders:
If you're looking for the 2AN Schedule, it's now posted on the Blog!  Be sure to also check the actual blog website from time to time (taism4an.blogspot.com) as the Upcoming Dates Section at the top of the blog might come in handy to fill calendars out with dates a bit ahead of time!

Birthday treats!  Let me know if you'd like to bring in birthday treats for the class!  We have 17 students in the class that are always welcoming of treats.  :)  We will typically have birthday treats at 10:15am with our snack time.  So, if you can drop them off in the morning before snack, we will enjoy them with snack.  If not, let me know so I can plan for another arrangement.  (Note:  We do not have a peanut/treenut allergy in our classroom, but we do have a few students that are to avoid nuts and beans.)
