Weekly Update- September 22, 2017
Week at a Glance
Math- This week I feel like we took a lot of math tests. :( Students took a pre-test which will help measure their growth throughout the school year. Today we took our unit 1 math test. Monday we will begin Unit 2, which focuses on multiplication.
Social Studies/Science- This week we finished our book A Landforms Adventure, and learned about many new landforms- all while studying non-fiction text features. Next week we will start a culminating project where students will create their own landform map!
Writing- Now that we've learned about the parts of opinion writing and brainstormed some new ideas, we will begin our own opinion writing. Today students chose from 4 different opinion topics and started reading 2 non-fiction text selections about the topic. Next week they will begin writing their own opinion paper on the topic. This will help prepare them for the Ohio State Reading test coming up in October.
