We had a great a week last week with reading Historical Fiction, planning our literary essay, starting a Revolution project with a partner, and making dinosaur eggs with our buddies!
This week will bring some more fun as well...
All of that review and it is finally time for the math test!!! This week we will wrap up our review and quick study of geometry and take the test Wed, Thurs, and Friday. One book per day.
In Reading Workshop, we will continue our class study of The Matchlock Gun. I hope your reader has told you about it. We are working on reading historical fiction because after our literary essay we will be writing historical fiction. We are working on this unit as a whole class and in small groups.
In Writing Workshop, we have mapped out a literary essay about the picture book The Other Side. After students complete this essay, they will write another one on their independent book as a book letter on the blog.
Our new American Revolution project is a newspaper - we hope to send home "the news" late next week. We hope you enjoy reading about the American Revolution!
On a side note, I think you will really love their next choir concert... I watched some of their practice on Thursday and it was wonderful!
Enjoy the rest of this rainy weekend.
