Puzzling isn’t about knowing the answer right away – it’s about figuring out the answer. It is about knowing what to do when you don’t know what to do. Remember, just because you can’t now – doesn’t mean you won’t be able to later.

[LANGUAGE ARTS] - Today we read about York, a slave who helped Lewis and Clark on their expedition west. We had an important conversation about how since York was a slave, his history wasn't thought of as important by those who were writing about events at that time. That is why most history from that time period is about white men (because they were the ones writing about it and the ones with the power). However, today we recognize the very important role that York played so we take time to learn about him and other minorities whose histories are not as well known. This text also helped us learn more about our comprehension strategy for the week - Author's Purpose. There can be 4 different reasons why an author writes a text: to entertain, to persuade, to inform, and to express. Understanding the author's purpose can help can help us decide how fast or slow to read and how careful to pay attention to the details in a text.
Homework: NHW SWYK Alert: There will be a Reading Street 1.2 SWYK on Friday, October 7 EVERYDAY: Read for at least 20 minutes!

A Message From Mr. C - "What a great first day! It was a pleasure meeting all of you today and I know we are going to have a great year. Today we had a nice welcome back assembly and got to see all our favorite teachers get their dancin' shoes on to the song "Better When I'm Dancing" by Meghan Trainor - see for yourself by clicking HERE! Then we came back to Room 430 and talked about 4th grade and how you are all members of the HLC: Hiawatha Leadership Club. This means that during the year you will help provided the school with some much needed services and volunteering. These responsibilities include collecting recycling every other week, leading the school in the pledges and WHIA Hawk Radio on Fridays, washing lunch trays, gardening, and KB: Kindergarten Buddies! We started off HLC right away this year with meeting our buddies and helping them fill out an activity. After that, it was outside for some fresh air. Wow - this day sure went by fast. I hope you had a great first day back and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!"
