This week was a busy week. Here is what we were up to.
In math we were doing a lot of review for the Unit 3 test. We practiced elapsed time problems with open number lines. We also started solving number sentences with variables. Finally, we continue to practice and remind ourselves of the difference between prime and composite. "P-R-I-M-E, only factor is one and me!"
In Reading, we started our short story reading groups. We met and made book group rules and some of us even named our book groups (Fourthlandian Blue Cobras and the Purple Fourthlandian Falcons). We read different short stories and thought about how characters were revealed. We then used our Reading Response Journals to record our noticings in a bubble map.
In Writing, we are working hard to finish up our Realistic Fiction stories. Some of us are already editing them.
In other news, we started Science this week and we are learning about the earth's crust, the mantle, the inner core, and the outer core. We also had a Creative Arts program that was really cool. We heard music from Trinidad, Brazil, Spain and some other far away places. Here are some pictures:
Have an awesome and fun weekend!
