Mrs. Moore's Class Weekly Update
December 6- December 10
MATH
In Unit 3, we continue to work on using number lines, drawings, and fraction circles to identify and make equivalent fractions. We are also working on ordering and comparing fractions. In addition, we are making the relationship between fractions and decimals. We have begun to convert between metric units of measurement.
LITERACY
We have begun our Persuasive Unit. We have been exploring Types of Persuasive Writing, why authors write to persuade, and we will be writing Persuasive Essays. To end 2015, the students are practicing a persuasive play entitled "Blame it on the Wolf." They are having a great time practicing their parts and designing their costumes.
SCIENCE/ SOCIAL STUDIES
In Science, we are learning about water pollution and water filtration. We started a water filtration project where students will work together to design and build a water filter. In Social Studies, we are learning civil rights.
