In the Classroom
In math this week, we focused on finding the perimeter and area of shapes.
Students completed their drafts of their famous inventor writing biography this week. We also started typing the pieces. We will have these on display at the Winter Open House next week.
We focused on self-monitoring this week in reading. Students were asked to think about 3 questions as they read; 1. Does it look right? 2. Does it sound right? 3. Does it make sense? We used a narrative play to practice this skill as a whole group.
In science this week, we further explored magnetism. Students discovered where the strongest parts of a magnet are. We also studied how opposite poles attract and like poles repel.
