Happy Friday!!
Writing: We have been working really hard this week in writing on adding elements to our writing to enhance the quality of it. We discussed introductions, conclusions, text features, and quotations this week. The kiddos have worked really hard to put each of these elements in their drafts of their information book.
Reading: During reading this week we continued to talk about note taking by paraphrasing. We also spent some time talking about main idea and where we can look for clues in writing to help us locate it. The kiddos are improving in their note taking but some are still struggling with deciding which information is important enough to write down and which information can be left out. We will keep working on it next week!
Math; This week in math we started chapter 10 on decimals. I am SO impressed with how well they are doing with this new information. They are taking what they know about fractions and are using that information to help them with these new topics. The chapter 10 test with be next Friday.
Science: In science we learned about mixtures and chemical and physical changes. I am hoping to do some hands on activities with these topics at the beginning of next week.
