In reading, we have been working on writing reading responses to our
independent reading books. One strategy we have used is slowing down to
understand what a prompt is asking. We have done this by underlining key
phrases in prompts before responding to them.
In math, we have practiced creating rectangular arrays to
represent multiplication expressions. Arrays are visual displays composed of rows
of equal columns. To the right is an example of a 3x4 array.
In writing, we have been practicing different structures for
informational writing. Some of the structures we have tried are
compare/contrast, cause-and-effect, problem-solution, and pros-cons. Practicing
these structures will help us to become better nonfiction writers and readers.
In science, we have enjoyed listening to instrument
presentations. Students did a fabulous job on their creative designs!
