Week in Review by Jessica

This week we had a bookfair! I got three new books! This week we are also writing to our favorite authors. I am writing to Andrew Clements! In social studies we are learning about the regions. There are four regions in the United States of America. They are the Midwest, the West, the Northeast, and the South. We are doing bookmatch blast! I am on my sixth book! When you get five books read you get to move up your rocket in the classroom! We just went to the library to get books for M.E.A. break! I got three awesome looking books!
Love and Sincerely,
Jessica Schmid
P.S. We learned how to play Red Remover!

New Unit in Math

Tomorrow we'll be starting our second unit in math. Our first lesson will teach us that there are many different names for numbers. For instance, what are all the different ways you can write 50?
