Mrs. Moore's Class Weekly Update
October 10-14, 2016
MATH
We just completed Unit 1 and took the Progress Check, as well as an open response question. Please make sure to sign those as they come home!
We will be moving into Unit 2 which starts off with discussing square numbers, area of rectangles, multiples, and prime and composite numbers. Many of these concepts are taught and then expected to be used to answer word problems!
LITERACY
In Reading, we focused a lot this week on inferring, using our schema(background knowledge) and clues from the text to draw conclusions about what we read. Ask you child what was in their neighbor's garbage!!!!
In Writing, we chose our "gem", that one seed story that stands out and will be taken to final copy. We worked on revising our openings and closings.
SCIENCE/ SOCIAL STUDIES
We started our science unit with our discussions on distance, motion, and energy. We focused on these concepts through hands on experiments.
