Math: This week we took our Post test for Unit 1 and the kiddos did fantastic! We also spent a few days learning/reviewing how to make arrays and how to find the area of a rectangle. They also took Unit 2 pretest, which came home in their Friday folders. If you noticed that your son/daughter struggled with any of concepts on the pretest, these would be great things to practice on either IXL or the home links. These are on top of the math fact fluency practice that they should be doing. There are now 4 students completely finished with fact fluency!
Reading: Our guided groups went swimmingly this week. We created names for our groups and read several articles about the branches of government. We focused on the strategies of prediction, using prior knowledge, previewing a text, and asking questions of texts. We did this with both our informational texts AND our independent reading books.
Writing: We published our personal narratives and finished publishing our Bio Poems. These will be up in the hallway outside of our room so stop by and check them out. This week will begin writing our letters to Governor Snyder about HR Bill 4822.
PBL: We spent this week diving into a unit on the government. Our driving question is, "How can we as students make sure our voices are heard at A2STEAM? We are learning about a House Bill that is being sent to Governor Snyder that states that those who are not reading by 3rd grade do not move to 4th. We are having some very interesting discussions around this.
Forms to Return: None at this time. :)
Upcoming: Our next unit on the Human Brain will be starting next week. Please let me know if you are a coach or an athlete that would be willing to make a short video. If you are interested, please contact me at bertelson@aaps.k12.mi.us
I’m looking forward to another great week! Please ask your child what they are learning about the brain this week.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
