Reading Folktales and Fairy Tales
We will be finishing up this unit at the end of the week. It's been good fun listening to folktales and legends that have been written in Readers' Theater format. The great thing about this resource is that different parts are written on different reading levels so children who don't often get to read together have that chance. It's fun to hear students trying on voices for different characters.
Landforms
Students finished designing their 3D landforms map. They wrote little brochures describing what people would be doing on two the landforms o their map.
They also took a pretest for our upcoming Forces and Motion science unit.
Opinion Writing Celebration
Students in fifth grade have also been writing opinion pieces so this week we will get together with a fifth grade class and share our work.
Children's Library
This is a free resource with folktales from around the world.
Working With Bigger Numbers
In math, we continue to work with bigger numbers using both addition and subtraction. Our focus this week was subtracting across zero(s). Students have been worked very hard over the past few weeks and it's been very rewarding watching their growth.
