Ms. Coronado's Weekly News
October 5th - 9th
Weekly Update
This week we had a few focuses that guided our thinking. One of our big topics of the week was the solar system. Students investigated how the earth moves around the sun and the tilt affects the seasons. We also started to finish up our work on Topic 3 in math which is all about place value. Our last main focus was using text evidence to support a claim in fiction text. Students did very well with this! I am looking forward to another great week of learning!
