Happy Friday!
Boy, the holiday feel is in the air! Please remind your child that we still have some days left before the holiday break...

Here's what we've been doing:
Language Arts: Wow! I really have some great poets in my class this year! We've been writing couplets, haikus, cinquains, free verse, shape, and acrostic poems. You may even see some of our wonderful poetry in the next "Urbana Elementary Quill"!

Math: We've been working with subtraction of 3 digit numbers while reading word problems. Some students are having difficulty subtracting from 0, so I've been focusing on that.

Social Studies: We've started our unit on Peoples of the World and Nation. We've had some good discussion about immigration. If your family came here from another country, please share that with your child so we can hear about it in class! The project that is due on December 21 goes well with this unit!

Writing: Most of our writing this week has been with poetry.

Next week...
Language Arts: We'll be ending our Poetry unit and starting Reading Social Studies Texts. We'll be covering how to use text features to help us understand what we're reading.

Math: We'll continue with subtraction by comparing how things that can be measured are different.

Social Studies: We'll continue covering different cultures.

We are still in need of large and small baggies, antibacterial wipes, and games/toys for the classroom.
Thanks for all you do!
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Humerick
