Reading - Students spend independent reading time on Achieve 3000, reading articles, completing activities, and responding to thought questions. In our reading groups we are working on "Author's Purpose." We ask ourselves "Why did the author write this?" "Is it to inform, entertain, or persuade?" Each day we work through the Daily 5 which includes reading to self, reading to someone, word work, writing, and technology.
Writing/Inquiry - Students are working on completing their Scribble Press books on weather for the May 12th Inquiry Fair. We also built our background knowledge by exploring the water cycle, clouds, rainbows, and wind.
Math - This week we worked on measuring and analyzing temperature. 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.
