Math Workshop
Your child came home with an assessment reflection paper last week. Thank you for sending those back with a signature. I will be sending them back home with your child this week so that you have them for your records.
The Math Menu will be a little different this week. Based on the Trimester 2 Assessment, each student created 3 goal areas that he/she would like to review. I have shared a document with your child on their Google Docs account. Each child should click on a link to watch a review video for the strategy to review. Your child can watch the video as many times as needed. After watching the video, each student will need to complete the review worksheet. The link is also listed below.
Reading Workshop
Last week we started our unit on Poetry. We are starting to talk about Poetry Elements such as stanza, rhyme, tone, and similes. We will be reading a wonderful book called My Man Blue. This book of poems tells a story about a man named Blue and a boy named Damon and of a friendship that develops between the two. It is a great book to use to think about character traits, character change, and theme. We use this book to learn about poetry, but to also review some of the skills that we learned earlier in the school year.
Science
We continued learning about volcanoes and where they are in the world. The students completed a mapping activity in small groups to see if there are patterns to where volcanoes occur in the world.They also learned about the Ring of Fire. Ask your child what he/she learned in science last week!
I hope everyone has a great week!
