Week of April 21 - 25

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Easter.  I sure heard quite a few stories this morning!  Here is what we are learning this week:

Math:  Students are taking the Chapter 7 Pre-Test.  They will then  start learning about arrays and partitioning rectangles into rows and columns.  We will also start discussing equal shares (fractions).

Literacy:  Students will be checking out books on their chosen topic.  They will then begin researching to gather enough information to write an informational book.  This is a process and will take quite a bit of time.

Science/Writing:  Students will be finishing their group book on the animal groups.  They are working together very well!  When students finish, we will have a publishing party and share our books.

Here are some pictures from last week:

Students are working on their glossary page for their animal groups books.

This group is playing a subtraction game.

Congratulations to Kaitlin and Shaurya for getting 100% Green Dots on YPP!

We just missed watching the pupa change into a beetle!
