Upcoming tests
Wednesday September 20th science heat unit test
Friday September 22nd math: addition and subtraction unit test
What we are learning about:
Narrative Writing
In writing, we are working on personal narratives. A big concept is taking large, broad topics and narrowing them down to specific 'moments'. The analogy we have used in class is a whole watermelon vs. a seed.
Adding with number lines
We have been studying the model of a number line and looking at how we can show our math thinking about addition. Using models is a useful way to show why adding 31 + 42 does in fact equal 73.
Heat Unit Test Wednesday
After several days lost to the hurricane, we are at last setting our sights on wrapping up our science heat unit. Test will be Wednesday, September 20th.
