Happy Friday! I hope you had a fantastic week!
Writing: This week in writing we began drafting our realistic fiction pieces. We broke up our stories into scenes using our story arcs and wrote long about each scene. Many kiddos were able to finish their drafts and the others are very close to finishing! We have continued to working on writing stamina this week and we are making progress everyday!
Reading: This week we focused our lessons on growing ideas about our characters. We learned about several ways that we can use what the author tells us in order to make inferences about the characters in our books. We also practiced writing meaningful notes as we read and discussed how we can push our thinking further by looking for evidence in our texts.
Science: We continued our chapter on living things by doing several activities. We created animals and discussed our their environment affects their lives. We also talked about food chains and the importance of having a diverse environment.
Math: We finished up chapter 1 by practicing word problems on Tuesday. We reviewed our chapter on Wednesday and then took our chapter test on Thursday. Each student's math test should be in their black leadership binder which they brought home today. They did wonderfully and I'm so proud of them! Today we reflected on our test and then started talking about the properties of addition.
I hope everyone has a relaxing weekend! I am looking forward to another week of learning!
Reminders:
Early Release on Wed. 9/16
