Curriculum
Reading -
We have been focusing on author's purpose this week as well as vocabulary. The kids did a great job using the frayer model to work on understanding the vocabulary words. The frayer model includes the definition, a picture, synonomns for the word and a sentence that shows they understand what the word means.
Writing-
This week the kiddos wrote their own scrips and recorded our first edition of Room 18 News! I'm hoping to be able to email you a link it this afternoon.
Math -
We are working in unit 4. It deals with place value and decimals. Kids will need reminders to keep the work neat so they don't miss a decimal point! Unit 4 also deals with converting the metric systems. This is a very tough concept for kiddos.
Science -
We have wrapped up our matter unit. The mini freezer page that came home today is completely option. Kids don't need to bring it back, just a fun experiment to do at home. Study guide will be coming home today. Test with be on Tuesday.
Social Studies -
Next week we will be wrapping up our unit on government. Kids have done a fantastic with this unit. Next up we will be getting into learning about the different regions in the United States.
Chrome Books
We have been using our chrome books everyday. Have your kiddo log in at home and show you our google classroom accounts. Especially the one for math.
And ask them to show you their typing club account! They have been working hard at learning how to type.
