Happy Friday!
We had another great week! We had a lot of fun learning about and making electric circuits in science today! I was so impressed with the wonderful teamwork I saw happening. We also took time to write scientific sentences about our predictions, observations and inferences.
Today the class had fun learning about similes and how authors use them in their writing. They practiced this skill by writing stories of their choice which needed to appropriately include at least 3 similes. Have your student share with you some of the similes they thought of.
Next week in Language Arts, we will be focusing on using text evidence to help us draw conclusions. We will be practicing looking closer into the text to find specific details. We will also be using this skill to write an informational paragraph using the information we find.
I have been meeting individually with students to see if they are reading to increase their reading levels. I have been so impressed by the improvements our readers are making. I absolutely love seeing the pride in their faces when they actually get to see and feel their hard work and practice paying off:)
They took their math test today and will be starting a new unit next week.
New reading and fact logs went home today and will be due next Friday.
We will be taking a fourth grade field trip to the bowling all on Friday, December 20th. Permission slips went home today.
Have a great weekend/week and stay warm!
