Our Week!We have had a really fun week this week! It’s been great getting back into a normal routine in the classroom. ReadingWe started Unit 3 of Reading Street. This unit is all about creativity and this week our focus was how to accept help from others when we create something. Our story is called Pearl and Wagner: Two Good Friends. The story is about how two friends help each other to put together a science project for a science fair. Silent Reading TimeWe have started adding a silent reading block to our literacy stations. Every day, we take 20 minutes to sit and enjoy reading silently. Be Proud, Read AloudThis coupon has become a hit. We had some risk takers reading out loud to their classmates this week! New Homework FoldersWe are revamping our homework routine. Starting next week, we will have a homework folder and a weekly homework plan! What better way to get excited about this change, than with decorating our new folders! MathThis week, we started learning about Bar Models and how this strategy can help us when solving addition and subtraction word problems. We practiced making the models together as a group with Unifix Cubes. We practiced writing our own story problems and then used Bar Models to show how to solve them and where the parts go in relationship to the whole amount. Science: LandformsWe started learning about Landforms this week! First, we shared what we already know about landforms and added them to a circle map. We looked at an image on the screen and wrote down everything we noticed about it before getting a Landform Dictionary to learn the different landforms in. We watched a great episode of Magic School Bus to learn all about how water can make landforms through erosion. The LoraxWe loves seeing the Fifth Graders put on The Lorax Play this week! After the play we did a fun perspective writing. We each picked a favorite character and told how that character felt in the story.
