Learning this Week:
Writing: Students have been learning new vocabulary words and practicing how to use them in their writing. They have typed up narrative quick writes using as many words as they could. We have also been working on our own personal narratives. We've read and discussed what makes a strong personal narrative and continue to learn new techniques to add to our writing. We are also typing up our own version of "The Important Book"

Math: Students have just taken the Topic 1 Place Value assessment on the computer. We will continue to review place value as we begin Topic 2: Addition & Subtraction. Students have been learning how to use bar diagrams and have been practicing mental math strategies.

ELA: Students have been looking closely at theme, self-monitoring thinking, and genre. As we continue to do read alouds we reflect on these concepts and students apply them during their independent reading time. Each student knows the expectations for reading letters and all have written their first one!

Science/S.S.: Students are continuing their learning about landforms by exploring DiscoveryEd videos and articles.We are also using Scholastic News to deepen our understanding of landforms in the world around us.
