Happy Thursday! Sorry for the lack of a blogpost last week - Friday was crazy and I totally forgot!
Here's a take at what we did this week:
Math - We have wrapped up Unit 5 in math which was all about learning different patterns in multiplication. through the different patterns, we also learned how to multiply by 10s and multiples of 10s. Next week we will review for our test that will be at the end of the week.
Reading - Students finished Chocolate Fever in the middle of the week this week. Most students really seemed to enjoy the book and some even asked if there was a sequel. In response to this, I had students write their own sequels! Students got very creative with their titles and stories such as Pizza Flu, Vanilla Fever, Meatball Cold, etc. Next week Tuesday we will have a test over the story plot in CF. It will be mostly multiple choice problems based on the story line of CF. In order to study, I would review and reread this weekend.
Writing - With a short week this week, writing has been a lot of Valentine's themed items or mixed in with reading. Although, we have started to go over our next writer's workshop writing topic which will be persuasive essay. Get ready for your child to become even better at arguing their point! :)
Social Studies - In social studies this week we learned different ways that cultures around the world celebrate, such as food, dance, and with puppet shows. Students shared how they celebrated in their cultures as well. This was our last lesson in the unit so next week will be spent reviewing for the test.
Religion - With the start of Lent, we have been talking about what Lent means and the different ways we celebrate Lent as Catholics. Students made Lenten promises for different things that they are going to "give up" and "take up". We discussed the importance of not only giving up things, but also "taking up" things such as different ways to be more like Jesus. We have also spent a lot of time with our faith partners this week!
