Happy Friday, everyone!
Writing: In writing this week we began a personal narrative unit and have been working on generating ideas of small moment stories we could write. Many of the kids chose to write about a memory that they had a special place or with an important person in their life. We have also been working on starting our stories with action or with dialogue in order to draw our reader in.
Reading: In reading we are working on our author study and specifically looked at setting and plot this week. We discussed the importance of the setting in our stories and discussed how the setting of a story could change our story completely. We also talked about the problem and solution of stories and identified them in the books we are reading.
Science: We are working on a new chapter about rocks and minerals and the kids are really enjoying it! We discussed the various ways we can classify minerals and also learned about the erosion of rocks.
Math: In math this week we finished up our chapter on long division and took our test. WOOHOO!! :) Everyone has been working so hard in this chapter and I am so proud of them! Please remind your kiddos to keep practicing those multiplication facts at home!
