Weekly Update 9/24

Happy THURSDAY!!  This week flew by in our classroom!

Writing:  This week in writing we continued working on revising our realistic fiction pieces.  We also began editing our pieces using different lenses.  Some of the things we looked for were: spelling, punctuation, and tense.  Our pieces are really coming along and we will begin publishing next week!

Reading:  This week in reading we have been practicing holding debates about our books with our reading partners.  We have learned how to use our books to find evidence to defend our opinions and how we can decide on a topic that would be good to debate.

Science:  We enjoyed our field trip to Shaw Nature Reserve yesterday and learned a lot!! It was so helpful in digging deeper with some of the topics we have been discussing this year.  We also began working on an Ecosystem Project in order to understand the plants and animals that make up different ecosystems.  The project will be due on Wednesday, September 30.  We will work on the project in class.

Math: We finished up chapter 2 and took our test today.  The kids did so well and I can really tell that they have been working hard throughout this chapter.  The tests will be coming home on Monday.


Reminders:

No School: 9/25

Spelling Test :9/28

Science Project due: 9/30

I hope everyone has a relaxing weekend and that you get to enjoy the beautiful weather!

Sincerely,

Miss DiFranco
