This week we continued our unit on expository writing. The students also revisited the topic of opinion vs. fact; they did a sorting activity to help better explain this concept.
In grammar we focused on the use of apostrophes. We went over all the different rules and they were able to play a bingo game related to apostrophe usage.
Library was delayed by a day because of the field trip.
Science:
This week we continued our inquiry on plants. On the field trip the students were instructed to look for at least two plants. They then sketched and labeled these plants in their sketch books. The students seemed to have a great tie during the trip; they were exposed to plants from all around the world.
They also learned about deforestation; we will revisit this topic again closer to earth day.
Social studies:
We are continuing to focus on different part of map and location.
Math:
This week we focused on two digit addition with regrouping and two digit subtraction without regrouping. When they are doing the homework please make them show their work. I want to see that they understand concept of regrouping and carrying over.
Have a great weekend!!
