I am very proud of my hard working Team for their successes this week and look forward to another great week ahead.
In Reading Workshop, we started with Book 1 and moved onto Book 2 for our ELA prep. Please note a rather lengthy note coming home today about the things we have discussed. Next week we will work on Book 3 and continue to practice all of the great skills we have been reminded about: complete sentences, capital letters, using textual evidence as details in the middle of our answers, and working to do our very best.
In Math this week we were lucky to have Ms. M take over for three days to introduce multiplying fractions. She has completed her teaching with us but will continue to observe what we are doing on Monday and Friday mornings for the remainder of her semester. Next week we will be moving onto measuring. It will be an ice break for those who were not very fond of fractions.
Our persuasive essays are completed and published! Each writer typed their essay and we have even had a chance to share them. As an added bonus, we wrote a letter of compliment to a company this week (in essay format). Ask your writer who they wrote to! Next week we will type and mail them. We will also begin our next writing unit of Literary Essay.
We will take a break next week from the Revolution to fit in everything else we are working on. It will be back next week!
Thank you for all of the assistance you give your children at home!
