Thank you to everyone who sent back their blue conference form. I will do my best to accommodate the date and time you listed. You will get a confirmation note in the Friday folder next week. Please let me know as soon as possible if it needs to be rescheduled.
In the Classroom
We finished our unit on Missouri history this week by discussing our role in the Civil War. Next week, we begin our Force Science unit.
In reading this week, we read a play called "The Trial of Rabbit." We used this piece to practice reading fluently, finding story elements, and comparing and contrasting. We will begin our 5th unit next week called Advancements in Technology.
The students created their personal narrative journal entry this week. They worked hard to go through the publishing stages including drafting, revising, editing, and publishing.
We focused on multiplication strategies this week in math. Students learned how to use helper facts to solve unknown facts. For example, 5x7 can help you figure out 6x7. Ms. Olson also led lessons on how to use doubling to solve facts. For example, 2x8 can help you solve 4x8. We will finish this unit up next week.
