What Our Week Looked Like...
Reading Workshop
Determining Importance was the focus of this week's reading. Ask students what we learned about spaghetti and determining importance. Students also met with their book clubs and practiced various skills around them!
Math
This week we worked on Fractions, Fractions, and More Fractions! We practiced skills such as converting fractions to decimals, multiplying fractions, and finding equivalent fractions. Students have been working on through task cards, games, and small-group work to attain and secure these skills.
Writing Workshop
This week we focused on completing our Literary Essays. Students are working on creating a thesis and reasons that is centered in a book of their choice. This week we gathered evidence and began to draft our essays!
Social Studies - Special Guest Speaker!
This week we were lucky enough to have Audrey's Dad come in and speak to our class regarding immigration! The class was able to ask questions about what immigration was like today. We got such amazing insight and were so lucky to have that experience!
Science
We are currently working on rocks and minerals. This week we looked at minerals and determined their different characteristics. Students are going to be partaking in a Birthstone Research Project in order to get hands on knowledge of rocks and minerals!
