Reading and Writing

        In Reading this week we have been continuing our reading groups with more reading and writing assignments about the book.

        In writing this week we have been continuing through the writing process. Some kids are even on content conference with their self, a peer or a teacher.


Math, Science and Number Corner

In math in this week we have been moving into unit 6. In unit 6 we are going to learn more about fractions and newly learn about decimals. This week we were looking at different sized sections on a geoboard and trying to figure out what fractions they were.  After this, we extended our thinking by making connections with the fractions (for example, 2 1/4’s = 1 1/2). We actually ended up adding and dividing fractions!

In science this week we have been learning more about light and sound. This week we read a book about the subject. We then filled out definitions for words that were mentioned in the book. For example we had to define photon, light and reflection. Also, we did stations about light with prisms!

In number corner we have been recording the trip and mileage of the trip going on in our calendar.
