Happy Friday 5V Families!It's getting colder out there, and we are working hard in room 504!
Here's a look at what we covered this week: Reading: In reader's workshop, we discussed digital reading, and digital reading strategies. We talked about how it is different reading some digitally, rather than the print copy. We went through ways to use web features, how to evaluate internet sources to decide if they are credible or not. Students also completed some digital reading assignments. We also continued reading nonfiction books in print during guided reading groups.
Writing: In writing, we finished up our narrative unit by examining ways to incorporate figurative language into their writing pieces, as well as writing endings to our stories. We are finishing this unit by publishing our stories using google drawings. We will be sharing these writing pieces on Seesaw next week! Math: In math, we finished chapter 3, and began looking at chapter 4, which has to do with multiplying decimals. Students did a great job on the adding/subtracting decimals unit. We also spent some time reviewing multiplication and division this week, so that our skills don't get rusty. S.S.: In Social studies, we finished Colonization, and moved into our discussion on The American Revolution. We read two books, Let It Begin Here,By Dennis Fraden and The Revolutionary War by John Malam. We also watched part of the Funeral of former President George H.W. Bush. We read about his life and time as president. It was really cool to watch the funeral and see all of our most recent former presidents and current president sitting together. It was also cool to discuss the customs and formality of the service. Science: Next week in Science, we are working on an engineering project. Students will be working on engineering a device that will keep an egg from breaking when we drop it from certain heights.
