What we're learning....
Math -students have been strengthening their addition and subtraction skills using the standard algorithm. Next week we will begin learning how to multiply larger numbers. This is where fact fluency is extremely important.
Reading -last week we finished reading Because of Winn Dixie, and the students shared when they learned about story elements by creating a storyboard. We will be continue to focus on those same story elements using our Story Works magazines this week and throughout the upcoming week.
Language Arts -during the past two weeks we have been learning "be a better writer" strategies. This includes adding rich adjectives, replacing verbs, and using adverbs in our writing. The class just finished brainstorming for their next writing workshop assignment: "Fall Favorites".
Social Studies -students are putting the finishing touches on their Treasure Islands. Next, we will travel to our first region: The Northeast!!!
