Good afternoon! I am sorry this is late. we have had an interesting day today! My guest teacher was sick, and long story short... the kiddos have had myself and two other teachers today! :) They are resilient, though.
Reading: In reading this week we are focusing on why people run for public office. We are reading two different stories that are helping us make predictions. We are working on confirming or revising our predictions we are making as a whole group and in our small groups. Also, we are identifying first and third person narratives. We are looking for clues in the text to help us determine the point of view of the story.
Math: In math this week we have been focusing on finding common denominators and creating equivalent fractions. We are using multiples to determine common multiples. Common multiples help us determine a common denominator between the pair of fractions. On Thursday, we will do an understanding check using the mid-chapter checkpoint. This will help guide our learning for the next week in math.
Language: In writing, we are continuing to share our animal expository pieces with the class. We have been working very hard to produce a quality text, and we are proud of the work we have done. On Friday, we will begin our narrative or fictional story on to switch things up from our typical writing prompt.
In grammar, we are focusing on how to correct and identify Run-On sentences.
Spelling: Unit 4 Week 2: Inflectional Endings: y to i.
Social Studies: In Social Studies we did an assembly line as if we were working at one of the early Hersey's Chocolate factory. They had to take on the role of Wrapper Cutter, Candy Placer, and Candy Wrapper. This was a fun experience for students to work through. On Thursday, we will be continuing with our slides.
