This week we have been reviewing math concepts, including geometrical shapes, multiplication, and three and four digit addition. We will continue to review these concepts as well as others this week.

We have begun our Moon & Space Unit. We have been reading and categorizing facts about the moon and space as well as having read alouds about the moon. We are also focusing on the genres of Science-Fiction and Informational texts. Mrs. Griswold is reading aloud one of her favorite science-fiction books, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L'Engle. Our vocabulary words come from the first three chapters of the book and they include smug, dubious, indignant, inadvertently, belligerent, and cunning. We have learned the meanings of these words, added them to our vocabulary journals, and used them in our speaking and writing. We will continue to work on these words all week and will get new words from the next few chapters next week.

We reviewed using commas in a series and began working on using commas when giving more information about words in our sentences. We used our current or previous vocabulary words in our sentences.
