Classroom News
Reading: We
wrapped up our fairy tale unit this past week. It was a fun unit and students really enjoyed comparing and
contrasting characters from a fractured fairy tale to the original version. We were able to read so many great
fairy tales! We did a fun craft on
The Three Little Pigs, which happens
to be a crowd favorite! We took
our assessment on Friday.
Student’s put forth their best effort comparing and contrasting
Goldilocks from the original version with Goldilocks from the fractured fairy
tale.
Math: We began Chapter 10 this week!
We began to learn about picture graphs and how a picture graph
represents data and gives us information.
We also learned how to make a picture graph and how we can use it to
answer a question.
Writing: Students continued to write opinions about
their collections this past week.
They learned that sometimes people will disagree with their opinions and
that is okay. We also learned it
is important to give reasons to support our opinion. This makes our opinions stronger!
What We’re Learning Next
Week:
Reading: Next week we will be beginning
a brand new unit. We will be
learning about point of view. In a
story sometimes the author tells the story and sometimes the character tells
the story. We will be reading a
wide variety of texts and exploring who is telling the story in each text and
using textual evidence to decipher how we know! We will be studying first person point of view and third
person point of view.
Math: We are going to be continuing along in Chapter 10. Next week we will learn how to read bar
graphs to find the number that a bar shows, we will make a bar graph to learn
how it helps us to compare information, we will read tally charts, make tally
charts, and practice problem solving to learn how graphs can help us to solve
problems by representing data! It
will be a busy week in math!
Writing: We are going to continue writing opinion pieces. We will be learning how to bolster our
arguments and opinions. We will be
introduced to quotation marks and learn how we can use them in our
writing. We will also learn how to
use a variety of punctuation marks and why they are important to include in our
writing. We will work on being
persuasive and writing persuasive reviews!
Phonemic Awareness:
Students will be learning about the digraph ou.
Example: mouth and found
