In Reading, we
finished reading our book group texts. Then, students chose a new realistic
fiction book using the strategies for picking just right texts. After reading
these texts independently, students will deliver an oral report to the class.
In Writing,
students completed peer editing to prepare their personal narrative writing for
publishing. Topics discussed were paragraphing, fixing run-on sentences, and constructing
endings to provide a sense of closure to a story. We are having a writers’
celebration on Monday, November 17th and you’re invited! We’d love
if you could join us to read the wonderful writing that students have worked so
hard on.
In Math, we started
a new unit on multiplication! We solved multiplication word problems involving
equal groups. Also, we used “skip counting,” addition, and pictures to solve
multiplication problems.
In Science, we
have started a unit on sound. We have been exploring concepts of sound using
tuning forks and other materials. We discussed how the size of an object
affects pitch, and which objects are good conductors of sound.
Lastly, we also previewed some more information about the
Pilgrims in advance of our trip to Plimoth Plantation on Monday. Students should
dress accordingly to the weather, as we will be outside for most of the day.
