Happy Friday!! I can't believe we are just one week away from starting our winter break!
Writing: In writing this week we have continued to work on our personal narratives. We added dialogue and inner thinking to our pieces in order to give more details to our reader. Today we worked on how to end our personal narratives using reflection. We will be publishing and celebrating our hard work next week!
Reading: In reading this week we have been focusing on retelling the important parts of a book. We practiced using the retelling rainbow that reminds us to talk about characters, setting, problem, and solution. We began working with our groups today on how we are going to present the information we have gathered on our author. We will be presenting at the end of next week!
Science: In science this week we began using stations to interact with the material we are learning. We completed several activities centered around rocks and minerals. Today we did a starburst lab that showed us how the rock cycle works.
Math: In math we are working on chapter 7 which is on sequences and patterns. We learned how to identify and extend numeric and non-numeric patterns, use input and output, and how to plug in variables to an equation. The kids have been doing FANTASTIC! :)
We will be having our chapter 7 math test on Wednesday, December 16th.
