This week was weird/action-packed week. Here is what we've been up to (dunn...dunn...dunn...)
In Reading we are still learning about biographies. We read the biography, Who Says Women Can't be Doctors? and thought about women's rights and how the setting of the time period was unfair. We also started wondering, who gets biographies written about them. We learned about the possibility of having a Social Justice Workshop (after break) where we discuss challenging topics that have to do with fairness.
In Writing, we continued to brainstorm entries for our opinion writing unit. We also had a Writing Celebration and finished our stories for good. Here are some pictures of the celebration. A LOT of family and Franklin teachers came!
In Math, we are still in the middle of our multiplication unit. We took our 5s and Shira took her 12s test. We learned about expanded notation and practiced the box method and the partial product method for multiplication.
In Social Studies, we finished up our study guides of the South East and are having our quiz show today.
In other news, there are no Fourthlandian birthdays until January 15th (two students share a birthday) and January 19th!
Well, see ya later (said in a Western accent)
Shira & Samantha
