News From Mrs. Jose's Class
Week 7 September 21-25
Continents, Oceans, Latitude, Longitude... Oh My!
Students researched globes, put together puzzles of large continents, and then broke into groups so that they could form plans to transform our room into a globe.
The outcome was completely student driven and completely cool! Two groups worked on taping lines of latitude and longitude across our floor while other groups worked on labeling oceans and directions. We now have large continents hanging from the ceiling completely mapping out our room.

What Will You Find Us Doing This Week?
We will be finishing up our unit on adding and subtracting whole numbers. Our final assessment will be on Friday. Next week will begin working on multiplication.
Writing
Publishing our stories has taken us longer than expected but we know that writer's never skip a step or rush the process! We will definitely end this unit on Friday with our published stories.
Reading
Last week we learned about empathy. Understanding how empathy can help us predict what a character will do next is a difficult comprehension strategy. So, we will spend a few days this week working on this skill.
Social Studies
Hopefully you've gotten our field trip information!
We will begin learning about Indiana history this week. Over the next few weeks students will work on projects to show what they are learning about Indiana's history. They will present their group projects and we will create a class mural to represent all of the important information that we learn along the way.
