Busy week up ahead!
Writing- Last week, we started our next unit of writing. This is a non- fiction unit where students will become experts on a topic. Last week, we all chose an animal and started researching on a kid friendly site called Pebble Go. This week , we will learn about hooking our readers with good beginnings, using transitional words, and organizing our writing using paragraphs. Reading- Our reading groups are in full swing now. As a class, we are working on identifying the main idea of a passage. We will also focus on this as our main skill in our small groups. Math- This week we will finish up a unit on data collection and graphing. We have a couple of fun activities to do to collect data about measurement and then will plot that data on a graph. Science- We have been discussing the scientific process. On Friday, we started a class experiment and will go through the process step by step. Ask your student what has happened to our gummy bears after placed in water (or Sprite) over the weekend!
