Week 13

What a busy, productive week we had!  Here's a little glimpse into it...

  • In math the students are working diligently with two digit divisors and are really problem solving about their estimations.  They also created word problems based on a theme and given dividends and divisors.  We will work on division with decimals next week.
  • In literacy the students explored five different text structures in pairs.  The lesson really connected as students were thinking about the ways they could write non-fiction as they recognized these structures as a way to build a research report. Midweek, students chose a topic to research. On Thursday and Friday, students researched their topic.
  • We finished reading Pax.  Make sure you ask all about the ending!
  • Spelling assessments happen about every other Friday.  Results will come home next week.
  • Our science unit is going well.  Each day the students have done a challenge from Mystery Science.  This week involved the sun's pattern in each season as well as the moon's phases.  Each day we have had a hands on experience.
