Last week was a busy, fun filled week! Our Halloween party was a success and a lot of fun. Thank you to the room mom’s for helping out! You ladies are AMAZING!
This week in reading we will be reviewing and learning about non-fiction text features. Students will review each feature and discover how useful and important they are to our comprehension of a non-fiction text. In writing this week we will continue to work on our compare and contrast paper of the upper and lower peninsulas of Michigan.
In math this week we will begin the week by looking at capacity by decomposing a liter. We will work with theses liquid volumes throughout the week and solve mixed word problems that consist of all four operations.
In social studies this week we will finish up our “Passport” to Michigan project by picking a region that we studied and completing a map that highlights its common features. We will also type a summary of our learning to help describe the region they were assigned. We will also begin our new unit which is the history of Michigan.
