This week we will...
...begin our next Writer's Workshop project. We'll be focusing on "strong verbs" in our writing. Students will be choosing a piece from their own journals to turn into a Writer's Workshop project.
...continue learning all about the Gold Rush and its effects on California. Next week we'll begin a whole-class simulation activity, where students will be working in teams to mine gold and claim land.
...work more with fractions! I have to say I am very impressed with this group's ability to grasp the fraction concepts so quickly! These can be difficult concepts to understand, and these kids are doing a great job. This week we'll be learning how to add and subtract fractions with like denominators, and how to reduce fractions to their simplest form. Friday will bring a test covering chapter 17.
