Classroom Update: December 19, 2014

In reading, we are continuing to study the Pilgrims. This week, we learned about why the Pilgrims chose to leave Holland and how they paid for their journey. We are creating informational books to describe the Pilgrims’ story. We participated in readers’ theater this week to learn more about this subject.

In math, we are working on solving multiplication and division word problems. Now that we have had more practice with division, we are exploring how it is related to multiplication.

In writing this week, students continued to gather research for informational books. They used this research to begin drafting their pieces on their Google Drive accounts.
