Tuesday, March 19, 2013

*Just a reminder...we DO have school this Friday, March 22nd. We do NOT have school on Monday, April 8th. Students return to school on Tuesday, April 9th.

This week's IA: Music
IA when we return from break: PE

Reader's Workshop
Students have found much joy in searching nonfiction texts for nonfiction text features. We feel like detectives when we try to find headings and subheadings. We've found that some nonfiction texts don't even have headings and subheadings. Interesting!

Writer's Workshop

Students will begin having their published writing displayed in the classroom. Here is our first set of published writers! Look at that craftsmanship and attention to detail. Bravo!

Math
We took our test on the fraction unit today. The students really enjoyed delving into the world of fractions. I can safely say that we have ALL deepened our knowledge about fractions over the last couple of weeks. 

Expedition
Before we start our Science Expedition, which we will do after break, we are working like meteorologists. Each day, we record our observations about what the sky looks like, what the air feels like, what the temperature is, what the humidity is, and what the air pressure is. Some of our data we get just from being outside. Other data we receive from weather.com. Tomorrow we will be making barometers, so we can record data from our very own weather instrument. How exciting!
