Warm days and cool nights...
and a great time to update you on what we're learning in Room 49!
Math -students have been strengthening their addition and subtraction skills using the standard algorithm. Next week we will begin learning how to multiply larger numbers.
Reading -last week we finished reading Frindle, and the students shared when they learned about story elements by creating a storyboard. We played Frindle Jeopardy on Thursday, which was a fun way to wrap up the unit! This week we have been learning about theme. The students have enjoyed identifying the theme in Pixar movie shorts.
Language Arts -during the past two weeks we have been learning "be a better writer" strategies. This includes adding rich adjectives, replacing verbs, and using adverbs in our writing. The class just finished brainstorming for their next writing workshop assignment: "Fall Favorites".
Social Studies -students are putting the finishing touches on their Treasure Islands. We will wrap up our map skills unit with a test next Tuesday. Then we will travel to our first region: The Northeast!
