Reading
The student have been working with determining importance. We are practicing pulling the most important information out of non-fiction books. Next week we will work with non-fiction writings, which the students have to use to solve problems.

 

Math
This week the students were introduced to parentheses in math sentences. We also related division to multiplication. The students are continuing to take their multiplication times test on Fridays.

Writing

The students practiced using different parts of speech to write poetry. We also worked with the Yankee Doodle song to create parodies of the poem. The students listened for syllables and matched rhyming words to create their new parodies.

Social Studies:

We worked in small groups on a reader's theater story on Harriet Tubman. Next week we will use non-fiction texts about presidents to continue our practice of determining importance.

 

Science:
The student worked with life cycle vocabulary words. Next week the students will review everything we have learned about animal and plant life cycles. We will wrap up our life cycle unit with a life cycle test next Friday.
