Math:
We continued to review place value and base ten with exponential notation. We took the review test today and discussed how ready we were for a Monday assessment. The overwhelming majority said they needed a little more time to work on these skills.
Reading:
We had a phenomenal literature discussion about Wonder this week. Students participated in a "Socratic Seminar" style discussion to analyze characters and answer other questions students had as they read. I was blown away at the level of discussion! True knowledgeable, enthusiastic learners! Fabulous!
Inquiry/Writing:
We organized our information so we are ready to begin research on Monday.

Inquiry/Writing:
We organized our information so we are ready to begin research on Monday.
- Please make sure your child has an article, book or both that they are able to read independently by Monday
- Inquiry journals went home, please look these over and sign on the last page of student work
- I am also pushing back our assessment on cells to next week; we need more time to create connections and have a deeper understanding
- If your child has not brought in a baggie full of pictures, magazine cut-outs, words, drawings, etc... that describes them, please do this soon. We are all wanting to collage our writing journals
