A few dates to remember as we look forward to next week.
This week – Feb. 26-March 2 Reading – We also had our first two FSA simulations on Monday and Wednesday. Students worked for 45 minutes on two passages each day. After the 45 test simulation we worked to go over all of the answers with the students right then so they could reflect on their success and difficulties. Students will graph their progress for all six simulations. In addition, we continued reading and learning from expository non-ficiton texts like Deserts and Polar Bears. We are working on the strategy of wondering and new learnings. Ask your student what wonderings and new learnings they’ve had this week from our class read alouds. Vocabulary – This week we learned the words avoid, deadly, and threatened from Flashy Fantastic Rainforest Frogs. Talk with your student about how these words were used in our story. Writing – This week we did our second performance task which focused on writing an opinion essay. Students were asked to write an opinion on who they would rather meet if they could go back in time- George Washington or Benjamin Franklin. Chat with your student about which one they chose, and what reasons they used to support their thinking. Math – This week in math students are finishing up Unit 5 on multiplication. They are working on their larger facts in the 10’s and 12s. Next week - Reading – Next week in reading we will continue learning about Polar Bears and keeping track of what we wonder and new learnings. Writing – Next week in writing we will begin our unit on expository non-fiction writing, during which students will complete a research writing project. Math – Next week in math we will begin Unit 6 on Fractions.
