Announcements
We had another busy, short week! I think the students and I are ready to get back into the routine of our 5 day week. Word work will resume next week.
A huge thanks to all the parents who volunteered this year for our class parties. The students and I had a blast at all of them, and we really appreciate your efforts to make these a success. A special thank you to Stefanie Arnold for stepping up and being our room coordinator!
In the Classroom
In math this week, we started a unit that involved real world multiplication problems. We had to help a baker, Muffles, solve different problems for his truffle shop. The students worked in partners all week as they solved these problems. We will assess over multiplication next week and then begin our Division unit.
We started our Opinion unit in writing this week. Students took their pre-test on Tuesday. We then looked at examples of well-written opinion pieces and made a chart of what those students included in their pieces. Finally, we started sharing our opinions about different topics. Next week, we will begin discussing how to support our opinions with evidence.
In reading this week, we focused on biographies. In shared reading, we read a book about the famous cellist, Yo Yo Ma. Students studied the different features in a biography and how they help us learn. In their small groups, students read biographies about Steve Irwin, Ellen Ochoa, and the Griffey family.
This week was all about diseases in Health. We discussed what the words disease and symptoms mean, learned about infectious vs. non-infectious, and created our own germs.
