It feels great to be back in our routines after a week of floating and sinking. This week we will take a quiz on our floating and sinking unit on Tuesday!
Math will continue to focus on fractions. We will be comparing, ordering, and problem solving. We will review this chapter on Thursday and take the Chapter 11 test on Friday. We also have our March Interim Assessment on Friday. This does not count towards their averages but instead gives me information for my instruction.
In Writing Workshop, we will be completing our persuasive essays. We are focusing on how to make sure our reasons and evidence line up with our thesis statement. It is a skill that can be difficult to master.
For Reading Workshop, we will be looking at 1st person vs. 3rd person. Additionally, my readers will begin to practice answering questions about what they have read (as an early preparation for our ELA test in 4 weeks).
Today we began a new book about the American Revolution titled History Happened Here. It is a great book that tells the events as a story. At this point in our study, we are up to the Continental Congress and the war has begun.
Don't forget our spelling tests on Tuesday and Thursday will resume tomorrow. Vocab is due on Tuesday with a quiz on Wednesday.
Thank you to all who attended the Wacky Olympics!! I hope you enjoyed yourself.
