Moving in Math and Science
Students have been continuing to deepen their understanding of fractions by writing whole numbers over one on a number line. In science, our classes moved into the last chapter on organisms, environments, and fossilization.
Reading for the Stars
Teams are working on their final presentations. Mini IPADS are being utilized for photo searching, photo saving, and video embedding. Next week the final videos will be completed using green screen technology! What a great way to share and present our culture study with our classmates!!
Writing as Experts
Students continue to develop their opinion pieces. They spent time this week on one of three targets: continuing to develop persuasive ideas, rereading all writing this far and choosing a seed to move forward with, or going through a checklist to make sure their writing includes all of the ideas from our daily mini lessons this far!
Looking Ahead...
