Wednesday, September 18th

Students were very busy today!  We continued working with adding and subtracting multi-digit whole numbers.  Students are working to effectively regroup numbers to correctly solve the equations.  They will have a very short assessment over this standard on Friday.

Students used Discovery Education to complete short research on telescopes.  They were able to utilize and interactive task that allowed them to explore different telescopes on their iPads.

Students also analyzed a text today to explore the different traits of the text and what made it stand out.  We are working to describe things like characters, setting, problem, and solution in detail.  Rather than explaining that the story's setting was in a school, students are working to give a more specific description of the school.  This will also work well during writing, as students are working to write a personal narrative that focuses on a small moment.

Next Week:
I am already looking ahead because next week is a very packed week with lessons, field trips, and bike safety.
 Important Reminders:
Please send in field trip forms by Friday.  Our field trip will be next Thursday.  We will begin boarding the busses at 12:00 in order to arrive at Woodland Gardens at 12:30.
Bike safety training for our class will occur on Tuesday, and Friday next week from 11:45-12:45
