Pratt's Primary Corner
Weekly Update- April 13, 2017
Week at a Glance
Reading- We focused on dramas this week and learned about how dramas are structured. We also got into small groups to act out a play that we were reading.
Math- We've spent a lot of time this week creating and sorting quadrilaterals.
Science- Our caterpillars have formed into their chrysalis and we are patiently waiting for the butterflies to emerge. We moved them to a new habitat and should have butterflies sometime next week.
Writing- This week we worked on writing a powerful conclusion and introduction.
OST Testing
We will be taking the reading OST test on April 24th & 25.
We will be taking the math OST test on May 1 & 2.
The best test prep you can do is be sure your child gets to bed early the night before, has a stress-free morning and eats breakfast! :)
Butterfly Life Cycle
Our butterflies are in a new habitat and we are patiently waiting for them to emerge.
Perseverence
Students showed perseverance this week as they used their maps from last week to find the total time spent on the water and converted it to miles. We learned the importance of mathematicians being neat and organized.
4th Grade Writers
Mrs. DeFluiter brought over some of her 4th graders to read us their Brown Bag Stories. We loved listening and learning about them.
