Happy Friday Families! I hope to see you all tonight at Pizza Bingo!! Our class had a lot of fun during our Ice Cream and Movie reward party today! Thank you for sending in some sprinkles!
Writing: This week in writing students started learning how to create a rough draft. Each student got the opportunity to create any kind of writing piece they have done this year such as Narrative, Information, Opinion, or a Series. Every student began by planning out their story by sketching across their pages and then writing the details down. As students finished their pieces, we went word-by-word to fix spelling errors. Some students even noticed that their sentences didn’t make sense because they forgot a word! Next week students will be finishing their stories and present them to the class! Reading: Our class has been reading so much lately! I constantly see students wrapped up in a book and some are even disappointed when they have to put the book away! We have been focusing on using all of our knowledge about reading to read new books! Some students have paired up to buddy read during our stamina reading time and continue to practice being good reading partners. Next week students will be put to the test to read a new chapter book! Math: We have been so busy in math this week! During our lessons this week, each student has learned how to solve double digit equations using multiple strategies. We first solved these problems with our quick ten drawings. As students became more confident using this strategy, they then created a vertical equation to go with their drawing. Together, we practiced carrying the new ten (or the one) to the other column in our double-digit addition problems. Many students perfected this skill quickly with all their practice from using a drawing! Science: We finished charting the moon this week! Our class had a lot of fun watching the moon phases change over the last month! Each student also created their own moon using bubble paint and wrote 3 facts about the moon for their project portfolio. Next week we will take a closer (not too close!) at the sun! Thank you all for your continued support these last couple weeks of school! Have a great weekend! |
