Halloween Fun and Election Day

Dear Big Room Families,

Here are a few pictures of our fantastic Halloween day. We had a fabulous party and probably a little too much candy :). There are also some pictures of the students voting at Alta Elementary. The students did an excellent job of researching both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney and made an informed decision when they voted.

This week the students will wrap up unit one for reading and the students will have an assessment encompassing visualization, predications, setting, and characterization. Students will also need to identify various kinds of sentences such as simple sentences, compound sentences, and compound predicates--tough stuff, but I know they can do it.

We have started to write memoirs. Last week the students had an excellent discussion, that involved a ton of higher-level thinking on what makes a good introduction in a memoir. We will work on implementing that into our writing as well as using figurative language appropriately.

In math, both 4th and 6th graders will start a new unit. 4th graders will start to learn about decimals and there use, while 6th graders will learn about variable, formulas, and graphs. 5th graders will continue to work on geometric concepts and will have an assessment at the end of the following week.

Enjoy the pictures and have a fantastic week!!!!
