CURRIUCULUM
Reading- This week students will be introduced to new character in a series book clubs. Students will work with these clubs to get to know their characters, study their actions and dialogue, and grow ideas.
Writing- At the end of last week we launched our next writing unit- Baby Literary Essays. We started with flash draft "bootcamp," which involves brainstorming ideas about a text, picking the strongest idea, finding evidence from the text to support it, then rehearse it out loud. After rehearsal students head back to develop a "flash" draft, which is a fast way to get their ideas on paper. More revisions will follow later in the unit. You will notice that this work will creep into reading notebooking as we start to prepare for the development of reading responses.
Math- We are wrapping up our Multiplication/Division unit this week! We are exploring mass and volume word problems using multiplication and division, and will visit centers to review concepts to prepare for the post assessment, which will take place Monday the 21st. Students leaving early for break will make alternative post-assessment arrangements.
Social Studies- We will wrap up United States centers by 12/23.
