Reader’s

Workshop

We are continuing our researching animals unit. We are practicing different ways to research and gather information about a topic. This week we will study how to build up vocabulary and talk with the lingo of experts and how to discuss our topic with zeal for a new animal.

Writer’s

Workshop

The kids will continue our writing about research unit going along with our reading unit. This week the kids will teach others about their animal as a way to get ready to write, discuss table of contents and chapter organization and reread their drafts to add more.

Math

What happened to math class?

We will wrap up our unit on fractions by studying fractions greater than 1, fraction word problems, reviewing fractions and finally taking a fractions assessment at the end of the week.

Social

Studies

The kids will take their knowledge of the important symbols and documents of the United States and make documents and symbols that represent our classroom.

Science

We will start a new unit on weather. We will start the unit by discussing what weather is, sorting weather related vocabulary words, and learning about different kinds of clouds.

Thank you,

Mr. Gray
