In the classroom...
We are closing in on first quarter, but just getting started in some of our units. This week we will launch new reading unit that will push readers to a higher level of thinking. I can't wait to see them grow!
Reader's workshop - Readers will work on learning to read intensely to see more and notice more.
Writer's workshop - Writers published their realistic fiction pieces last week. This week we will begin transitioning to opinion writing.
Math - Students will be working on solving number stories using multiple operations. We have also started timed tests for multiplication. Students will be need to complete 54/60 problems in 2 minutes time to proceed to a higher level. They will work at their own pace starting with 2, 5, 10, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, and mixed set.
Social Studies - We are continuing our tour of the regions. Next stop, the Midwest!
