A busy week.....
Mrs. Reagan has been joining us all week for Writing Conferences... it has been a learning opportunity for both students, teachers, and even the principal. I am perfecting they way I work with your students on writing. They have been helpful and patient! We are publishing tomorrow and moving on to Literary Essay - our next unit - on Monday.
In math, we are quickly learning how to add and subtract fractions. As some say in the class "piece of cake". The difficult part is simplifying. We are working hard and will master it. Next week we are lucky to have a College of Saint Rose Graduate Student teaching 3 lessons!
Reading Workshop has focused on point of view and fables this week as well as answering questions in complete sentences. We are now 3 weeks away from the ELA test and I will be working on test taking strategies... i.e., how to answer questions with details, best strategies for multiple choice questions, and reading for meaning over the next few weeks. I will try not to make it too painful.
The American Revolution is underway in SS and we are enjoying a few episodes of Liberty Kids to help our understanding. Additionally, we are reading, creating venn diagrams, and having great discussions.
Thank you for signing off on the HW Update sheets. I appreciate your support.
Not sure what will happen with the weather.... we'll see about school tomorrow.
