Happy Friday!
Our first week back after Spring Bread was fantastic! Can you believe we only have 7 weeks of school left??
This Week:
Reading: This week we went back through our Independent Reading time to make sure we were doing it correctly. We remembered all the rules for doing Read to Self, Read to Someone, Listen to Reading, Work on Writing, Word Work, and Book Shopping. The students did a great job with showing me that they know how to do it well and with good stamina.
Writing: This week, we started writing poetry. We started with a color poem and then went to -ing poem and a question poem. The students are doing a great job with those! We also read some funny poems from Jack Prelutsky.
Math: We started learning about fractions this week. Fractions are so hard to understand sometime, but the students did great!
Science: This week we learned about the three States of Matter: solid, liquid, and gas. We learned about the particles that make up matter. I also showed them some ice, water, and air and the students got to touch it and feel the different states of matter. On Friday, we put an ice cube in a bag and taped it to the window. The ice soon melted to water, and now we are waiting for it to turn into vapor as a gas. So much fun!
Next Week:
