Congratulations to Kyndall, Mariana, and Aastha (she was ahead of us so we missed her in the picture)! They ran the Girls on the Run 5k this morning. They did a great job keeping pace in the rain. They finished strong and with a smile on their face!
All-Star of the Week
Owen was our Awesome All-Star last week! We loved learning more about Owen from his parent letters. We also liked seeing all of his pictures, baby sleep sack, and sports trophies. Owen enjoyed a special lunch with his dad on Tuesday and his mom on Thursday. Students had an opportunity to write compliments to Owen on Friday.
Reading Workshop
We have started our final unit of the school year--Character Study. Students are reading books of their choice from a series to study the characters more closely. Last week we looked for patterns in our character's behavior and made predictions about what our characters might do next in the story.
Writing Workshop
We have also started our final writing unit of the year--Fairy Tales. We have discussed ways authors adapt fairy tales and have studied several different adaptations. Students have also learned how to write their own adaptation and have written an adaptation of the classic fairy tale, Cinderella. In the first set of pictures below, students are acting out scenes for their adaptations before writing. In the second set of pictures, students are reading parts of their adaptations aloud.
Math Workshop
Students continued to practice solving word problems. We focused on solving two-step word problems. We will wrap up this unit at the end of next week. Look for the unit review to come home tomorrow afternoon. It will be due on Thursday.
Science
We have discussed the importance of a standard unit of measurement. We also reviewed how to measure objects using a balance scale. First we made estimates before measuring each object in grams. Finally we reviewed how to use a tape measure. Students worked together to measure different lengths, widths, and distance around.
