Writing
We finished up our letter
writing unit this week! The kids had fun writing cards to people and
writing letters to family and friends who live far away.
Our focus was to make sure that all letters have a date, greeting, body (with details), closing,
and signature. The class worked really hard on these letters and LOVED
writing them!
Our next unit is poetry!

Reading
Our focus this week in reading was researching and reading
about stars. The class read a
chapter from our science book, and article on PebbleGo, a book about
constellations, and did research on our weebly about stars. They then took
everything they learned a made a poster about the stars with themselves as the
main constellation.
In reading groups we were still focused on using the text to
prove our answers to questions. Groups read about the International Space Station or meteors.

Math
This week in math we finished Unit 8 which covered geometry and creating arrays. The class had the chance to explorations on
Thursday to work with dividing shapes up equally and describing and creating
shapes on geoboards.
We will be taking the next couple of weeks to review
concepts before moving on to multiplication and division. We will review: telling time, making change for $1, story
problems using money beyond $1, adding/subtracting 3 digit numbers with and
without regrouping, and rounding/estimating.
I will send home the Unit 9 homelink once we start that.
