Reading - This week in our reading groups students read books about Thanksgiving.  Students will share what they have read through Prezi's.   Each day we work through the Daily 5 which includes reading to self, reading to someone, word work, writing, and technology. 

Writing - Students are pretending to be turkeys and writing letters to Farmer Hill asking him to make a choice other than turkey for Thanksgiving dinner.  In mechanics, usage, and grammar students worked on possessive pronouns.

 

Math - Students are working on understanding fractions as numbers.  We explored this concept using a Hershey Bar.  That was a delicious activity.  Students work daily on  number of the day, problem solving, math writing, and I-Pad activities that support the Common Core State Standards.  On Tuesdays and Thursday students also work on multiplication facts.

Inquiry - Students have been working in small groups on their healthy me projects.  Groups will begin presenting on Friday.
