Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20^th 

– Julie Andrews.

In writers workshop we are starting a brand new unit called Lab Reports. In this unit, students will learn “experiment write-up”. They will question, experiment, make a hypothesis (guess) and will actually do the experiment using materials and find results. Then they will compare their hypothesis and result to arrive at a conclusion about what they learned. This week, we're going to take a look at books of scientific writers and study the books that have been written and taking note of what the author has done in the book that we can do as well.

In reading workshop, we are doing reading assessments this week to wrap up our first unit. Questions that we may be asking students are:

• Who is the main character in the story?
• What is the problem in the story?
• How did the main character solve the problem?
• What is happening in this picture? How did the picture and the text help you understand the
• How did the picture and the text help you understand the setting?

In math, we are reviewing and finishing up unit 3 and will be having our unit 3 math assessment on Wednesday, October 30th.

In STEM, students will be exploring different liquids and understand the different properties in liquids.
