The Potter Packet
Happenings in Room 231!
Writer's Workshop- We continued our unit on Mem Fox this week. The students have read two more of Mem's books and further discussed how she uses feelings and emotions in her stories. We also discussed how she uses repetition in her writing to connect to her readers.
Language Arts- Students learned about synonyms this week. We made synonym snowmen.
Math- We worked on solving word problems using the strategies we have learned in chapter 4! We also reviewed for our chapter 4 test by going on a scavenger hunt. The students took the chapter 4 test on Thursday.
Science/Social Studies- This week we learned more about penguins! The students now know all the penguin species. The students used their new knowledge about penguins to create a nonfiction book about penguins!
