This week FLEW by. It could have been because it was Summer one day and Winter the next. The students have been hard at work researching and taking notes for the Living Museum. ALL of the writing is done at school parents, please only help your child determine whether they will be bringing a prop, dressing up or making a poster for their exhibit.
In reading we have been reviewing the different text features we use in non-fiction and how to use tables of contents, indexes and timelines and determining the main idea. In writing we are reviewing expository writing focusing on the introduction, topic sentences and paragraphing.
I've given students a sample and a writing frame to use as a crutch (you can see it in the language handouts after the Mary Anderson sample speech).
In math we worked on more complex problem solving involving multiplication and division and rearranging equations to help us solve.
We finished up our Science unit on soil and will be moving on to weather and the water cycle.
