Happy Thursday!

Tomorrow there will be no school due to a furlough day for the school district. 
Enjoy your three day weekend!

Classroom News!
What's been going on in C4

September was a great start to this school year! We all had the chance to get to know each other better and have worked out a great routine in the classroom. We covered routines for each content area and reviewed what they learned last year. We also began using ClassDojo! This management tool has been a great success in the room and is motivating everyone to work to their potential. I will be sending home Dojo reports every week so that you can discuss as a family possible behavior goals for the upcoming week.

October arrived quickly in C4 and we hit the ground running! Literally with the Jog-a-thon! Great job on collecting pledges and running hard that day. This month we have been reviewing multi-digit addition and subtraction in math. This week we moved into solving story problems. We will finish out the month working on multiplication strategies.In reading we have been reading both fiction and realistic fiction. We are learning to identify plot structure, character development and conflict resolution. In writing students have been writing personal narratives, stories about their own lives. They are working on publishing stories next week.

I will be updating the blog monthly with a short summary about what we are covering in class. I will also be having students share some of their work on the blog as well. So check back often to see what is going on in C4.
