In reader’s workshop we have begun writing personal
narratives. Students have created
timelines of their stories and spent time developing interesting leads. We are working on focusing on a small period
of time and describing it deeply.
Students continue to work hard on math using IXL. They have completed over 30,000 math problems
this year! Here is another great
website they can use to practice using a protractor to measure angles, and another where they can
have fun while studying the properties of polygons.
We are wrapping up our study of simple machines by looking at
how the design process works. We will be
building go-carts in class using the design process. After that we will begin our study of matter.
The children are creating posters to demonstrate their
understanding of Incan culture. Look for
pictures of these on the blog soon. We
will finish the ancient civilization unit by studying the Aztecs.
The Living Wax Museum is creeping up on us. Please make sure that your child has written and
memorized a speech that includes all important information about their
character, created a poster with a biopoem and pictures, and has a simple costume
to wear that represents their person from history. We hope you will join us when they present on
November 8th.
