This week in Room 203...
Math This week we started our final unit, Module 8 - Geometry. We discussed attributes of shapes, learned a lot of vocabulary and practiced drawing different types of shapes. We ended the week making quadrilateral robots. The end of unit assessment for Module 7 is coming home today. Students were provided the opportunity to retake the test if they wanted to improve their grade. You will find both assessments (unless they chose not to take the retake) in their purple folders. Please note if you noticed your student struggled, we are continuing to work in small groups on these concepts even though we have moved on to another unit. Reading This week we focused in on the genres of biography and realistic fiction. Students picked one person to study and created a power-point presentation to share their new learning. They created a comic strip to outline the timeline of their historical fictional novels. As much as I love Dog Man and Diary of a Wimpy Kid, it has been nice to have the students branching out to other books as we complete these genre studies. Writing/Science We continued to conduct experiments this week and write like scientists in our lab notebooks. Students asked questions, came up with a hypothesis, created a procedure, collected data and wrote a conclusion. We were fortunate to have a second force and motion lab where we tested gravity, friction and amounts of force using different toys. We are starting to write informational how to books involving force and motion using what we know about writing like a scientist. Reminders: -Next week's sharing: Summer Acrostic poem -Please return purple folders daily -Library books are due each Friday. Book bags are due Tuesdays. -Please send 2 small snacks in each day with your student. Have a great weekend! Ms. Warner Dates to Know:
