*As we begin November, the students have been working on main idea and details in language arts as well as nouns. 

 The students finished their writing about "Nominating their favorite pet", these are displayed in the hallway.  They are finishing up their "Life of a Leaf" writing.  In the "Life of a leaf they are incorporating science vocabulary words.  

Our Living Systems science unit is complete, however there will be some extensions in science with Mrs. Martinelli.  In social studies the students have started their Explorers unit.  We are looking at early explorers that will lead us up to our Pilgrims unit.
