What's Been Happening In Class?
- Writing: This week our focus was on our One Little Word Project and we also did a mini-lesson on Capitalization. Our One Little Word projects will be on display in front of our classroom next week.
- Reading: We are deep into our Biography unit. The kids have read chapters 4 - 6 this week in their Biography Book Club book and taken post it notes for each chapter. Some students have yet to complete these chapters and notes. Please ask your child if they brought home their biography book and reading journal for this activity to complete over the weekend. They will continue to read and respond to this book next week as we wrap up the unit with a fun activity using Google Presentation!!
- Math: We are continuing with our next unit, Geometry. We reviewed this Geometry vocabulary this week: polygon, congruent, similar, 2-dimensional shapes, diagonal, triangle, quadrilateral (squares, rectangles, rhombus, trapezoids, paralellograms), hexagon, pentagon. We also learned how to find the area of a square or rectangle using 3 different strategies (counting each square unit, skip counting each row of square units, and multiplying length and width). We will continue with area next week.
- Science: We are currently in our Soils and Natural Resouce Unit. We did 2 fun soil activities this week as we continue to learn about soil layers, soil particles (clay, silt and sand), and erosion/weathering. Our test is scheduled for January 30th.
- Social Studies: We did a short reading passage on Martin Luther King Jr with comprehension questions.
- Enrichment: Squishy Circuits
