HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK 💡
MATH:
With only one day of math instruction last week, we spent our time getting started with using the order of operations to solve numerical expressions. Students learned how to move from left to right, with multiplication and division, followed by addition and subtraction.
READING WORKSHOP:
We spent our reading workshop time last week examining common themes in fiction texts. Students explored how to determine the theme of a story, and use evidence from the text to support their opinion. Additionally, students compared and contrasted Because of Mr. Terupt and Towers Falling.
WRITERS' WORKSHOP:
Last week our writers had the opportunity to share their published stories! We all enjoyed hearing the amazing creations from our class! WOW...such an incredible group of talented writers we have!!
SOCIAL STUDIES:
We wrapped up our chapter on the Colonial Regions last week in social studies. Students examined colonial jobs within each region, and chose a job they would have liked to pursue back in colonial times. Students also completed a processing activity that entailed choosing a colony to move to and writing a letter to a family member explaining their choice.
