Week of September 20

 It's hard to believe we have passed the one-month mark and are heading into fall. Students have been working hard in writing and reading this month. We have been pulling apart various texts to gather the gist of each story, determine the moral/message of the story, and how this connects to our unit's focus: education, learning, and books are important to people around the world. In math, we have been building our understanding of multiple-digit addition and will be moving into multiple-digit subtraction soon. Students are using strategies such as Getting to a Friendly Number, Pulling Apart by Place Value, and Starting With What You Know. The weather has been warmer than anticipated and the creatures have been buzzing around us, preparing for the change of seasons. We have made significant changes to our schedule in hopes of spending more time outside than has been possible these past few weeks. Hopefully, this will afford us more time outdoors. 

Here are some pictures from the week:

And magical rocks of course!
