I can’t believe it is already December! Here’s a look at
what we did this week:
Math – Math this week focused on subtraction and addition
equations. Students learned how to find the unknown variable in an equation.
They did really well with this! Next week we will be wrapping up Unit 3!
Science – We started a new unit in science this week that
focuses on chemistry. Students explored the periodic table and learned all
about different elements that make up our universe.
Social Studies - In social studies this week, we wrapped up our unit on the start of America by reviewing all vocabulary words and concepts learned. Next week we will take our test!
Religion – With the first week of advent starting, students
made advent wreaths out of paper. We discussed what each candle stands for and
even lit the first candle with paper. Students watched different videos about
the meaning of advent and made their own “What is advent?” posters.
Writing – Continuing to focus on grammar, students took
their test on nouns. We have been working on plural nouns, regular and
irregular, possessive nouns, and common and proper nouns.
Reading – This week’s story in reading was called “Moses
Goes to a Concert”. The story was about a school of deaf children attending an
orchestra concert. It was an inspiring story about being able to be anything you
want. We focused on comprehension and finding the main idea. Students are
constantly improving with their comprehension!
In other news, if you haven’t already heard, Santa delivered
an elf on the shelf to our classroom this week! We named him Freddy. He has
been keeping a close eye on our class! Pictures below.
Have a great weekend!
