What We're Doing- 9/17/12--9/21/12

This week our class will be review decimal place value and order of operations to get us ready for new forms of the same concept. The students shouldn't have any trouble with the new pieces. Reading has been up and down with our schedule. We are still reading over "NO TALKING" by Andrew Clements. I'm impressed with the students ability to take some of the book and apply it to their own life. They've even tried competeing to see who can be silent for a whole day. Imagine It is focusing on HERITAGE with a story called "The Dancing Bird of Paradise." We have previously read stories based in Vietnam and Africa. This story takes place in the Orient.
Social Studies will be taught on Monday and Tuesday. We will be packing a lot into those two days and students will have homework on those nights. Our science will be on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

**Our first field trip was a success. The students showed Gibson PRIDE and enjoyed watching the preformances.
