New Units and New Topics
Most topics circle around and continue to be discussed in the classroom…especially ideas in Language Arts. We try to focus on one main topic at a time, but continue to return to other topics to continue the understand and knowledge of these topics. In math we have taken a test, and are beginning a new topic today. Students have done fantastic on their most recent test and without a doubt will continue to do the same with our next unit on Integers. As we begin a new focus, we will continue to practice our multiplication and division facts through quick practices and group work activities.
In Language Arts we have begun focusing on Main ideas and Themes of stories and really trying to pull out these specific parts of a story. Every student has been great at retelling a story and even giving the main ideas and details, but finding the themes is a new and great challenge for us.
In Science, we continue exploring rocks and move our focus onto fossils. Students have enjoyed our rock study so far and I believe they will continue to enjoy studying about fossils.
