Reading: In Reading, we started a new nonfiction book titled, Robots. We talked about nonfiction reading strategies for reading longer nonfiction books like this one. Students practiced breaking up the ideas of longer sentences with a lot of information. We also worked on prefix strategies for solving unknown words. Best of all, we had special guests from the middle school come in and share the books they created on different animals. We loved seeing their creativity! Math: In Math, we continued our study on Fractions. We learned how to find fractions of a set or a collection. We also learned the difficult concept of equivalent fractions. Students have had many visual activities and games to help solididy these fraction concepts. Writing: In writing, students have continued to work on their biography writing. Students are now in the revising/ editing stage of their writing. We are having converstations about grammar and ways we can fix our writing to make it more engaging and easier for our reader to read. Science/ Social Studies : After finally erupting our volcanoes, this week was a time to reflect on our projects. Students started the technology component of our unit and created a google slide to go with their volcano project. Students were in charge of choosing their photos for the google slide presentation and adding their thoughts. Families will see these slides in Seesaw soon!
