You Can Now See Our Projects!
I have finally found a way to post our projects online. If you go to www.fontaine2ml.weebly.com, you will be able to access a website that will contain our paper slide videos, frog and toad Animoto slideshows, our Symbaloo, and hopefully, very soon...our bird podcasts. This site will be used to showcase our projects. The students wanted to add a blog, so there is a blog page on there as well. We actually posted on our blog this afternoon. I know they would love it if people would leave comments.
Turkey Trot Saturday! PRT track from 10:00-11:00
Coming Up Next Week...
Reading/Science-To wrap up our bird unit, in shared reading, we will be reading an informational text about penguins called The Emperors Egg. We will be differentiating between details that are fact and details that are fiction. We have learned how to retell a fiction story, now we will be learning how to retell an informational story. We will also be learning about the suffixes-ing and ly.

Math-We will be wrapping up Topic 6-Mental Addition (double digit) We will review on Monday and will take the assessment on Tuesday. The next topic focuses on mentally subtracting 2-digit numbers. Students will learn mental math strategies such as: subtracting 10, finding parts of 100, using a hundred chart to subtract and subtracting multiples of 10.
Writing-In writing we will be moving from focusing on the organization of our writing to enriching the content and ideas within it. We will be focusing on word choice and using our senses to make our writing more descriptive.
Social Studies-We will be learning all about rural, urban and suburban. Next week we touring New York City! We will be visiting Times Square, Wall Street and the Statue of Liberty! No, we won't be taking a bus, we will using a wonderful website called Earth Cam. This amazing site allows you see what is happening all over the world...live!
