Reading

This week we are reading a nonfiction Magic Treehouse book titled Magic Treehouse Fact Tracker: Pilgrims to learn about the Pilgrims who sailed to the New World (the Americas) and landed at Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620.  We are learning about a lot of interesting information to help us better understand the Pilgrims, Native Americans and that voyage on the Mayflower.

We are also reading a funny book titled Turkey Trouble about a turkey who didn’t want to be eaten by the family who raised him on their farm.  He came up with all types of disguises to blend in with the other animals so that he would not be spotted.  The students came up with our own disguises today for their turkeys.  We had queens, unicorns, princess, a mili-turkey, a fisherman, Godzilla, a Power Ranger, a peacock, a ghost ninja, a cowgirl, a football player, a rainbow turkey, Yoshi and even a butcher.  They did a great job and were very creative!

Math

Our focus this week is double digit addition without regrouping.  We will practice this all this week and then when we get back from Thanksgiving Break we will start learning about double digit addition with regrouping.  (We called it carrying when I was in school.)

*There is no math homework this week.
