This week was a hard week of learning. We kept busy and here is what we were up to.
In Writing, we continued to write our stories. We thought about how dialogue should be meaningful and not just filler. We also thought about how action, dialogue and description can really bring our writing to life.
In Reading, we started a new Short Story Unit. We read Pobody's Nerfect and The Goodness of Matt Keisar. We practiced reacting to the character of Mia in Pobody's Nerfect who is sad because all of her "supposed" friends don't come to her birthday party. She eventually learns that her true friend is Paolo. The Goodness of Matt Kaiser is about a boy who's not very good. We haven't finished it yet (except for one of our bloggers, she read ahead!). We learned about our characters by tuning into Action, Dialogue, Description, and the Reactions of other characters.
In Social Studies, we are wrapping up our study of the North East. Our trivia game is on Monday and most of us are feeling prepared.
In Math we are studying multiplication and have learned a lot of math vocabulary. We've learned about prime numbers, composite numbers, square numbers, factors, products, and multiples. We also started practicing our facts with fact triangles.

In other news, Tuesday was "Dress Like a Character Day." Here is a picture of those of us who dressed up and our teachers in their costumes:
And it was Nathan's birthday! Evan's mom also came in to teach us about Veterans and next week, we are going to write them letters :) Finally, tomorrow is the Halloween Bash. We hope to see you there!
Have a nice weekend!
