In the Classroom
This week, we will wrap up a few of our units as well as launch a couple of new ones. I am so proud of all of their growth in multiplication! Please keep encouraging your child to practice their basic facts at home. This will help improve both their speed and accuracy when solving more complicated problems.
Readers Workshop - Readers will be sharing and learning from one another this week which will launch us into our next half of our unit. Next, students will begin to explore a new subtopic that will allow them to start comparing their former topic to their new. This will really push their thinking as nonfiction readers!
Writer's Workshop - Our poetry cafe will feature all of our poets and one of their most prized pieces of poetry. This will occur in class and I will be recording their readings to share with you soon.
Math - We are returning to fractions this week. This unit will build on our previous fraction units and push their thinking a little more. This is the beauty of Everyday Math! What may have seemed to complicated before will be a little easier this go around.
Social Studies - A few months ago, we explored the regions of the United States. For this unit, we will learn about the regions of Missouri. Students will be working in cooperative groups researching one region and have the opportunity to share their thinking with others.
