We also celebrated Dr. Seuss!
Here's a recap of some of the learning that went on in the classroom.
Science This week we began studying sound waves. We read about how sound waves work and kids learned about echolocation and the parts of an ear. Next week we will continue studying sound waves and will focus on how communication happens with waves.
Writing
This week we continued building more
background knowledge of the Oregon Trail.
We gathered lots of information and then held another class debate. We came up with topic sentences for each of
our body paragraphs and wrote 3 supporting details for each.
Next
week we will study examples of good editorials.
We will write our introductions and conclusions. At the end of the week, we will discuss
adding voice and word choice. Then,
we’ll finally start drafting!
Math
This week we looked at fractions and how
they can be shown on a clock. This
allowed us to look at different equivalent fractions. We also began adding fractions (even with different
denominators). We capped off the week in
math with taking the STAR Test.
Next week, we will work on ordering
fractions. We’ll learn this by playing a
fun game in partners!
Reading
This week we studied elements of a complete
sentence (subject and predicate). We
practiced writing simple sentences and compound sentences. We also looked at sentence fragments and
run-on sentences as well.
Next week, we will introduce the kids to
some MAP prep websites we will begin utilizing during our Daily 5
rotations. We will also focus on frequently
confused words and when to use them. And
of course, we will continue reading our awesome books in reading groups!
