This week we continued our study of place value in math. We compared, ordered and rounded numbers this week. In ELA we started writing in our writer's notebook. We are learning to gather ideas for writing a story and our goal is to write a personal narrative at the end of the month. In reading we continued to monitor our reading by recording our thinking and sharing with the group. Also on 9/11 we discussed the Statue of Liberty and the poem written on the bottom of this great monument, "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus in 1883. The Statue of Liberty lights to way to America and welcomes everyone. We are memorized one stanza from the poem. (see below)
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
