Here's a look at our learning this week:
In writing, we will begin a final draft of our informational piece in which students were comparing and contrasting to similar topics. The students will be typing their essays to work on keyboarding skills.
In reading, we will continue to work on the skill of comparing and contrasting two texts. The students will be choosing 2 countries and then reading about the similarities and differences between the holidays celebrated there.
We will visit the science lab on Monday for a fun Holiday STEM challenge. Be sure to check Class Dojo for pictures!
In social studies, we will be completing a technology project with Mrs. Nelson, our media specialist. The students will take the information learned last week about productive resources and use the program Powtoons to show their knowledge. Be sure to ask your child about this project later in the week.
We will also have a visit from Wellstar on Thursday to talk with us about healthy habits.
In math, we will continue some with word problems, but also move on to graphing. Students should be able to read and understand bar graphs and pictographs. Usually, the most difficult part of a pictograph is remember to look at the key. Students should also be able to answer questions like, "How many more... and How many less...?" based on the graphs presented. Check out these games for more practice.
