Happy Friday, everyone!! Only 4 more weeks until summer break. We are looking forward to finishing the year strong by continuing our learning and having fun while we do it!!
Writing: In writing this week, we have been focused on collecting evidence for our literary essays. We have learned three ways to do this: making lists, using quotes from the text, and writing mini stories. We also spent time talking about transitions, which have helped our essays be more clear for our readers.
Reading: In reading we began historical fiction book clubs. We also had an awesome conversation about how there are two timelines when we read historical fiction: the character's personal timeline and the historical timeline. The kids are super excited about their book clubs and have been contributing insightful thoughts into our conversations.
Math: At the beginning of this week, we spent time reviewing concepts from throughout the year to get them fresh in our minds before our math MAP test which took place today and Thursday.
Upcoming Events:
5/4: Junior Achievement Day
5/5: 4th Grade Strings Rehearsal (9:15 AM)

Sincerely,
Miss DiFranco
