Week of November 20-24
Reminder:
No school Wednesday, Thursday, Friday!
We are learning:
Daily 5/Cafe–Students are working on point of view using different versions of The Three Little Pigs. We compared and contrasted the point of view of both and are now using Claim, Evidence, Reasoning to write a paragraph about whether we believe the pigs or the wolf. Team Wolf or Team Pigs!
Writer’s Workshop–Students are finishing up their “Turkey” narratives. Their turkeys turned out so cute and we are excited to share both the turkey and the story. Students were required to write 3 well developed paragraphs for their narratives.
Math–We are finishing up Unit 3 with identifying in problem solving when to multiply and when to divide. We will also be solving various number stories. After that, we will start our study guide and will finish reviewing after Thanksgiving. Most likely a test will be given the Thursday or Friday we get back to school.
Science–Our focus is Energy! Students learned about different forms of stored energy and we made our Rubber Band Rollers. The students made a claim and collected their evidence. They had a great time. We recorded our observations and will talk/write about results.
No Spelling unit this week because of the short week!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends! I know this year I am thankful for many things, including your children that I get to teach and enjoy everyday! Their enthusiasm and kindness is so amazing and I look forward to watching them learn and grow.
Happy Thanksgiving!
