Land of READ-A-LOT
Maidens and Lords have been exploring elements of narrative nonfiction! We finished a book called Chasing the Moon to China!! Students collaborated and found the six "little," big ideas of the story with all of the supporting details!! Friday we worked in small groups and then joined ideas back as a whole group to determine the author's"Big Idea" of the entire book!! Lots of meaningful discussions allowed all students to live and learn during reading this week!!
Missions in Math
The Kingdom worked on multiplication vocabulary, 4 ways to show a multiplication sentence, and factor/factor pairs during math this week!. We will continue this unit after Thanksgiving!
Soaring in Science
Our Kingdoms continued the story, Galya and Natasha's Rock Adventure. This story is setting the stage for the rock replications the students will create as material engineers!
WRITING that is Worthwhile
Our Maidens and Lords worked very hard on completing an organizer for writing a detailed paragraph. They were to choose a learning experience that changed their lives. This activity was in honor of American Education Week!
