What's Happening in the Classroom??
- Mystery Science: Before starting our final innovation block of the year, students will begin to learn about different types of weather and how it affects people.
- Language Arts -We will continue our unit on Communities. Students will also be reviewing skills for their interim assessment in March.
- Word Study- Students will explore homophones: words that sound the same but have different spellings and meanings
- Math -In math, we will continue to explore fractions. Students will be able to explain any unit fraction (1/b) as one part of a whole. Students will continue looking at equivalent fractions and different ways to represent a fraction. We will explore fractions using manipulatives and real world situations. Can you find a way to discuss fractions at home?
- Writing - Students will continue to explore the three types of writing: opinion, informational and narrative. Students will be reviewing opinion writing to prepare for their interim assessment the following week.
- Vocabulary- Students will be able to use reference materials to build vocabulary. They will show their understanding of the word by using it in a sentence during collaborative conversations and in writing. Want to know which vocab words students are studying? Click here for Unit 7 vocab.
