Classroom News
Reading: This week students compared and contrasted characters from the beloved
fairy tale Cinderella. We watched
the original version and talked about the evil characters and the good
characters. We then noticed that
this fairy tale also used the number 3 because there are three evil
characters! We then read the story
Bigfoot Cinderrrrella. This
was a funny fractured fairy tale about a bigfoot girl named Rrrrella who charms
prince charming by knocking him into the water! We noticed many similarities between the fractured
characters and the original fairy tale characters. We also began working on Wanted posters! We can’t wait for you to see them
during our Night At the Museum in April! J
Math: We are finishing up Chapter 9.
We are really getting the hang of telling time. We are practicing all day long and seem
to really understand the concept!
Next week we will be taking our Chapter 9 test. Look out for the practice test to go
home. We will have our test on
Tuesday.
Writing: We began learning about how to write
reviews! Students loved judging
their toys and deciding which one is the best and giving reasons for why it is
the best. This will be a fun
change of pace for students.
What We’re Learning Next
Week:
Reading: Next week we will be continuing
to read more fairy tale stories.
We will be having our assessment on Friday. We will be reading Goldilocks and the Three Bears both a

focusing on beginning, middle, end, and problem and solution.
Math: We are going to be having our Chapter test on Tuesday. We will be beginning Chapter 10 next
week. We will be learning al about
how to represent data using different types of graphs and how graphs and charts
can help you to organize and interpret data. We will learn how to read picture graphs next week, and
learn to make our own picture graph.
Writing: We are going to be continuing to write our opinion pieces using our
collections. WE will learn how to
explain judgments in convincing ways.
We will learn that often times opinion writers will expect disagreement

arguments.
