Things are winding down as we wrap up our final weeks of 2022, and our 12 Days 'Til Winter Break Countdown is off to a great start!
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK 📌
MATH:
Last week in math we continued moving through Chapter 4. Students learned how to divide fractions., and spent time practicing how to solve real world fraction multiplication and division problems.
READING WORKSHOP:
Our super readers continued examining Notice and Note Nonfiction. Students used the questioning stance, What Did the Author Think I Already Knew, to help them better understand nonfiction text. We also examined contrasts and contradictions in nonfiction texts, to compare and contrast differences in perspective and situations. Additionally, students continued working in their Number the Stars Literature Circle groups; reading, discussing, and exploring fiction elements.
WRITERS' WORKSHOP:
Students completed their final personal narrative revisions and published their work! On Friday, we held another successful Gallery Walk to celebrate the completion of our unit.
SOCIAL STUDIES:
We had a great week in social studies as we continued to explore the American Revolution. After examining the Loyalist, Patriot, and Neutralist perspectives, students made a choice for which side of the war they would choose, and supported this choice with specific evidence for their argument. Additionally, our class began examining the creation of the Declaration of Independence. Students learned about the meeting and tasks of the Second Continental Congress, and explored the importance of Thomas Paine's Common Sense pamphlet.
