Weekly Updates March 15

We had a fun day today! We did M&M fraction math, finished our class read-aloud (Frindle) , and we had High Touch High Tech come today.

Next week...

Math

We will continue learning about fractions.
The big focus is that fractions are part of a whole.
We are also working on identifying equivalent fractions.
We will test on fractions on Friday, March 22.

Language Arts

We are working on prefixes starting next week.
We will learn the meaning and identify prefixes such as re-, un-, co-, mis-, dis-, bi-, tri-, to name a few. Knowing our prefixes is really helpful in figuring out the meaning of new words.

Reading

We are going to start working on making predictions in reading. This connects to our previous skill of inferring, as predicting is inferring what will happen next.

We will be reading My Father's Dragon to help us make predictions as a class.

Spelling

Our spelling list will consist of multisyllabic words that have ea, ee, or ey in one of the syllables.

Social Studies

We will finish our civics unit this week. Our final topics will be capitals and Jimmy Carter.
Our test is on Wednesday.

Science

Today we had High Touch High Tech do a lesson on force and motion. We will start science late next week.

Writing

We have been working on persuasive writing, and we will move to opinion writing.


Have a great St. Patrick's Day weekend!
