Enrichment-Making Paper Pots Exploring Equivalent Fractions Readers' Theatre (reading a myth) Coming Up... Week of February 1-5Writing: We'll dive into informational writing this week. Students will write/create an informational piece about habitat loss. This may be in the form of a featured article, a slideshow, a letter, or a narrative nonfiction story. Each student will choose how they want to present their information. Although this is part of our writing, it also serves a purpose-we want to teach others about what we have learned.
Reading: This week we are revisiting informational texts. We'll review text features, text structures, and authors' purpose. As we read a variety of texts, we'll practice making inferences, questioning, predicting, making connections, and synthesizing our learning. Math: Last week we wrapped up our unit on equivalent fractions and comparing fractions. We'll take a quiz on Monday and then move on to our next unit...more multiplication and division. In this unit, we will finish learning strategies for the rest of the multiplication and division facts. The focus will be on 9s, 6s, 3s, & 7s for multiplication, however, we will be working on all the facts in our problem solving. Science: We will finish our unit on ecosystems & environments. I LOVE this unit, because it relates to our PBL. So, while we have learned about interdependence between organisms in an environment, it has deepened our understanding the balance needed within each habitat. Last week, students used several interactive websites on ecosystems and food chains and realized the important role of each organism and why people need to protect the environment. It was also lots of fun! Social Studies: Our focus this week will be on supply and demand of goods and services in a free enterprise system. Upcoming Events Monday, February 8th: 100th Day Tuesday, February 9th: Spring individual and class picture day Friday, February 12th: Valentines's Day party at 1:30 Monday, February 15th: No school for students
