Here’s what we've been up to:
Math: We have started Unit 6. This unit is all about division and using multiplication to help you. So far, we have covered extended division facts and using division to figure out area problems. Please use IXL or the Study Links to practice these skills. We are also loving Reflex math. Have your student show you their account if they have not done so yet.
Read Aloud: We spent last week learning about national parks through a few informational read alouds. We are focusing our learning around these two driving questions. Number one is "Why were the national parks formed?" and the second is "Should they continue to be protected?" Ask your student what he/she thinks about these questions.
Reading: Guided Reading will shift focus to informational. They will be learning more about the national parks as they focus on those same two questions. Ask your student what they are learning about this week.
Writing: We are finishing up our realistic fiction this week with some last minute revising and editing. Then on Thursday and Friday, they will begin publishing their writing. Ask your student what they will be writing about.
PBL: We started our new unit on the regions of the United States. It is called Every Kid in a Park and students will learn about the different regions and plan a trip to a specific national park with a group of five. Ask your student what they have learned so far.
Now, Spring has sprung? Maybe? Please send an extra pair of shoes to help keep the mud in our room to a minimum. Thanks in advance!
