Spelling: None today due to getting new seats.
Cursive: Cursive pp. 45-47 are available and due Friday.
Reading: Today was a reading day in Literature Circles; some groups worked on fix up strategies.
Writing: Today was a drafting day for our class book: If I Were President… Each student will write and illustrate one page for our class book, and this page will also be submitted into portfolios on December 1.
Math: We reviewed the trade-first method of subtraction. This is very similar to the method they already know, and just involves making all trades (or borrowing) first, then subtracting. Homework is to complete Journal p. 46.
