The Cougar Cubs News
Weekly Update - November 17, 2014
Week in Review
What a week! We packed in a lot this week. We continued with our new Lewis and Clark unit and started journaling or blogging and reading an interesting book about the voyage. We will continue working on that in reading and writing this week.
We completed Topic 6 in Math this week and we will start Topic 7 this week. I have not had a chance to score the tests yet, since I had a busy weekend.
The biggest news of course was our field Trip to Jeff City. It was successful, and I believe everyone had a good time, although, I think they were all exhausted. Thank you everyone for making it possible and again, a special Thanks to my chaperones, Mrs. Paschen, Mrs. Bartels, Mrs. Bufalo and Mrs. Silver. It is absolutely not possible to do this trip without you!

Week 14
Math: We will start Topic 7 this week.
Reading: In small group, we are going to motor on our books. I also have Kidblog set up for small reading group. So they can either record their responses on Kidblog or they can use the Reading Response packet that I have given them.
We continue the Westward Expansion Unit of Study. We will be learning about expository and narrative non-fiction.
Our read-aloud book is Wonder. I hope to finish this up soon, since this Unit of Study also has a read-aloud that is required.
Writing: Writing assignments will be associated with our reading of the Lewis and Clark book and will be Journal entries made on specific responses provided by me. Please make sure your student is staying on schedule with the class. I hope to make sure that unfinished work will go home.
Social Studies: We will be learning about why the Louisiana Purchase was such an important piece of United States History.
In small reading groups
Purple Group: We are continuing with Tigers at Twilight
Orange Group: We continuing with Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Red Group: We are continuing with Double Fudge.
Blue Group: We are continuing with The Report Card
Book Club: We are continuing with the Lightning Thief
