This week...
LA- students completed some sound poems about a nature scene using great description trying to capture the mood of their picture.
We also began discussing climbing stories. There are the most detailed type of story and we have begun creating a new story as a class as a model for them in their future writing.
Math - We have begun completing work with fractions, creating images that show equal parts and analyzing pictures with fractional components.
We have also been discussing the passage of time , including how seconds, minutes and hours relate to each other and using everyday examples to estimate how much time passes in different activities.
Social Studies- We have begun discussing the idea of Global Citizenship and our rights and responsibilities connected with this. We have investigated some of our basic rights as citizens in our country and how this extends to others in our world.

Thank you for sharing your time for student interviews this week. It is great to discuss the excellent work being completed in our class.
Here are some examples of poetry we have been working on.
In math we are continuing to use our division and multiplication skills to solve word problems. Continued basic fact practice will really help in the student's efficiency.

In our learning this week,
LA- Students completed their event stories through editing and revising their work. We also began small group novel studies in conjunction with our Guided Reading.

Science - We are continuing to investigate sound production and safe hearing through understanding decibel levels.
Social - Students are examining the goods and services found in countries and analyzing the import/export process through the needs of a country.

This week,
In writing, students are finishing their event stories where they follow the journey of an ant. They worked on developing a sequence of related events that lead to an ants successful journey across our classroom interacting with many obstacles on the way. They are incorporating a structured sequence, a great beginning, excellent description and the use of transition words linking the events.
In math, students continue to develop their skills in division showing their understanding of creating equal groupings related to division equations. We have also connected this with their multiplication knowledge showing this connection through arrays, groupings and number families.
In social studies the students have examined ideas of goods and services and how these differ in the four countries we are studying.
In science, hearing and sound continues as the students gain understanding of how vibrations effect pitch, decibel levels relating to safe hearing, and creating instruments to test these ideas.
Here is this week's homework.
