Read Across America Spirit Week! News:
Reading: This week we finished working on reading texts and answering questions about them. Students read about a prehistoric bird and Post-its. We examined the nonfiction conventions in each article that could help us learn details. Linking with our unit about the past in social studies, students read about the invention of a toothbrush. Thursday and Friday we started comparing two texts on the same topic. Writing: We continued working on our biography projects. Our goal is to study people who have shaped the world we live in. Students continued to research using books and the PebbleGo website. They then synthesized their research from both sources. Students have the choice of creating a Google slides presentation, poster, or first person narrative about their famous American. Word Study: We started learning about how to make words plural. We noticed words that need an "es" to make them plural. These were words that ended in s, sh, ch, x, and z. Students also learned the rule of words ending in a consonant and a y: change the "y" to "i" and add "es." We did different activities to practice and took a quiz on Friday. Math: We finished learning about place value to 1,000. Students practiced adding 10 more/less and 100 more/less to a 3-digit number. We focused on identifying skip counting pattern rules and continuing skip counting patterns. We reviewed the difference between the value of a number and the digit of a number. The class did several activities to practice the place value concepts we have learned. Students took the Place Value assessment on Thursday. Social Studies/Science:
We finished learning about the past and present and made an inventions timeline. On Wednesday, we began discussing weather. We learned about different kinds of weather. Students learned how to measure temperature and precipitation. We learned the three main types of clouds – cirrus, cumulus, and stratus. Comments are closed.
