This week - Reading –This week in reading we finished our unit on visualizing. Students should always visualize when reading, even though we will now begin another comprehension unit on inferences. We began our inferencing unit with the book The Paper Bag Princess. Students focused on the main character Elizabeth, explaining what she is like and how she changes throughout the story. Students also took an assessment this week to give us some baseline data about their test taking strategies. Vocabulary – This week we learned the words heartbreaking, fury, and bewildered from the book The Spooky Tail of Prewitt Peacock as well as floppy, recall, and clatter from the book Aunt Flossie's Hats and Crab Cakes Later. Writing – This week in writing we finished up our skills study of complete, compound, and complex sentences. Students will use these skills to edit their pieces next week. Math – This week in math students finished their double bar graphs to represent the data they collected from two different classes. Students are practicing describing data with terms such as “almost all, very few, half, or more than half.” Next week - Reading – Next week students will continue to learn about making inferences about characters when reading. Writing – Next week students will finish publishing their first pieces and will share their writing in the Author's Chair. Math – Next week we will work with line plots as a way to show data. We will also explore measurement and data we collect from measuring different lengths. Monday: Math page 24; Tuesday: Math page 29; Wednesday: Math page; Thursday: Math page 46
