Please note there is no school on March 20 for a teacher workday.
In the Classroom
In reading this week, students have been using fictional texts to practice various comprehension skills. We analyzed a story to find the moral, made connections, and recounted story events.
Our writing this unit consists of students completing all three genres; narrative, opinion, and informative. You will find their narrative piece in the Friday folder. They were asked to analyze the story for plot elements and then finish the ending. We also began looking at an informational text about archeologist Mary Leakey. Students were asked to write about how she changed the world.
We have been working hard to learn all about fractions this week! Students identified fractions on a number line and learned how to use benchmark fractions to compare.
We began our Weather and Climate unit last week. Students learned how to analyze the clouds to determine if a storm is coming. We also learned about weather predicting and climate patterns.
