Pratt's Primary Corner
Weekly Update- January 26, 2018
Week at a Glance
Reading- We have really been focusing on informational writing this week, along with our read aloud of Wonder.
Math- We are starting Module 3 of Unit 4 next week. Students have done an awesome job with measurement. They have also been getting exposure to time and fractions through our number corner this month.
Science/Social Studies- Next week we will begin our unit on circuits through E4Tech. We also implemented taxes this week... it was funny to see student reactions to that! :)
Writing- This week we learned how to use our hand as a graphic organizer for informational writing. We were able to focus on how to organize and sub-categorize our writing.
Websites
I have added a tab to our classroom portal of some math and reading websites you can visit to practice skills. These are not required, but I've had some questions about quality sites to visit.
Genius Hour Presentations
We will plan on having our Genius Hour Presentations on Thursday, February 22nd, after school from 4:00-5:30 pm. A permission slip will go home soon that indicates your child can stay after school for these presentations.
**If your child has a prior commitment after school, there will be an opportunity for them to present Friday morning instead.**
2nd Grade Buddies
We met with Mrs. Davis' 2nd grade class to learn more about each other.
We are Mathematicians!
Look at this awesome feedback one mathematician left for another mathematician! Can you believe our 3rd graders are thinking like this!? :)
High School Collaboration!
We worked with Mr. Schoch's high school business class to try out some toys his students created based on our interests.
