We have had a great week filled with fun and learning. The hot topic this week was all about our "student-led" conferences. I can't wait to watch the kids sharing all they've accomplished this trimester! Make sure if you need to reschedule your conference you let me or the office know and we would love to give you a different time! Here's a look at what we've done this week and what's coming up next week:
Science
We
have had so much fun learning about waves.
We have talked about amplitude, wavelengths, frequency and even energy
and force. We have used Slinkys, ribbon,
water and more to create and study different waves.
Next week we will continue our study of waves and talk about how the
amplitude of waves changes as it spreads out, how objects move on waves and
then we will begin learning about sounds waves.
Writing
This week we have finished up our study of
informational writing, Students have published their piece on the Missouri city
they were studying and have written a post-assessment on the Oregon Trail. I am
really impressed with all they have learned about the organization and
structure of informational writing.
Math
This week we took our pre-assessment on
fractions. We have A LOT to learn. J They are super
excited. We also spent some time looking
at all the data we have and everything we have accomplished as mathematicians
this year. Your kiddos have a lot to be
proud of. Students also set goals they
would like to share with you during our conference time together! Next week we will begin our fractions
unit!!
Puzzle Day! |
Reading:
This week we have spent time reviewing how
to monitor and clarify what we are reading.
We discussed how to reread, ask questions, visualize and more. We also talked about how to notice when we
are confused about something we are reading and how that shows us we aren’t
understanding what we are reading. As
student’s reading levels increase, so does the content of the books they are
reading.
Next week we are starting new book club
books. We are super excited to start new
chapter books!
