Hi Everyone,
Another week and we are at the beginning of March. We have a lot of things on our plate right now and we are gearing up for a lot of working. So....here goes:
Reading: We are still working on Bud, Not Buddy and the kids have discovered the turning point. We are also dealing with Comparing and Contrasting characters, setting, etc. The students will be introduced to metaphors and similies this week. We are tying that into our writing.
Math: We have journeyed into the world of decimals. We are also tying the work these decimals into Fractions. This is going to provide the students with extra fraction experience as well as working with calculators to figure out changing fractions to decimals.
Writing: The next couple of weeks, the students will be working with their Young Author Day books. These are the same type of books that the students did in 3rd grade. They are the author and illustrator so their creativity is key to this process.
And that's it. It doesn't seem like much but our days fly by way too quickly and time is something that we cannot get back.
