Check out some of the snowmen we made today!
Although this week was a short one, we got a lot accomplished before winter break! In English Language Arts, we've been reading realistic fiction novels in groups. We've been focusing on how we can infer a character's feelings through their words, thoughts, and actions. Students have also been drafting their informational writing.
In Math, we began studying division. We discussed the similarities and differences between the operations of multiplication of division. In addition, we practiced strategies for solving division problems. For example, we practiced drawing a picture, using a table, using equations, or drawing a number line to solve such problems.
In Science, we've been studying patterns of motion. Students have been building and testing carts, seeing which design makes the cart travel the farthest distance.
That's it for 2015! I hope you all have a wonderful New Year's!
