In writing, we have explored "Personal Narrative" and have chosen a "small moment" to write about. We will go through the writing process: Brainstorming-Rough Draft-Editing-Revising- and will type our Final Copy using Google Docs.
In reading, our skill of focus this month has been Character. We are reading several stories in our Scholastic Storyworks magazine and have also enjoyed the book The BFG by Roald Dahl together as a class.
In Social Studies, we have begun our New York State unit of study by labeling important places on the New York State map and talking about the geography of New York by reading The Big Rock by Bruce Hiscock. We will kick off our Native Americans unit next week by visiting the Brokkside Museum in Ballston Spa on October 6. http://www.brooksidemuseum.org/
In Health, our first unit covers all things "Safety", including ways to be safe at home, in school, and on the internet.
Please note upcoming important dates!
