Week of April 3-7

Happy weekend to all of you! Here's a little about our week.  Can someone please slow down time???

Mark you calendars for our Boston field trip.  We, along with 5L are going on Thursday, May 25th. More details will come after April vacation.

It was great visiting with so many of you last week to talk about your child.  Here's a link to who I'll be seeing this coming week!




*Math:
  • Volume of regular shapes
  • Volume of irregular shapes
  • Fractions and line plots
  • Math games on Friday with 5L

*Literacy:
  • Wrapped up our argument writing unit
  • Used a checklist to highlight and revise our written work
  • Began learning about our Passion Project (TED Talks)
  • Discussed key components of TED Talks
  • Students brainstormed a topic they are passionate about then researched
*PASSION PROJECT (aka a TED Talk):  Students will be researching, writing and presenting their very own TED Talk in our classroom.  Each of them has come up with a topic of their choice that they are passionate about and will be working on writing/memorizing a speech.  You will be invited to come into our classroom and watch our passion projects come alive.  Due to a large class, these talks will take place over the course of two days before April Vacation (April 19th and 20th)

Important Dates:
  • Early Release: April 12th
