Oct. 8-12

WRITING

This week, we will be finishing up our super hero action stories. Students have had fun coming up with their own super hero and writing a story of heroism and action! We will edit our stories using rubrics and the skill of peer conferencing. Please come check out the bulletin board at the end of the week to see our finished products!

READING
In reading, we are in full force of Daily 5! Students are becoming independent readers, listeners, and learners. This week, we will focus our reading comprehension on the strategy of connecting to a text. We will learn about text to self, text to text, and text to world connections.

MATH
This week, we will continue to add to our addition strategies and will also start to look at subtraction strategies. We will be learning about multiple addends and how we can take a difficult problem and turn it into problems we know.

SCIENCE
Our study of matter continues! We will be learning about physical and chemical changes. We will be doing several neat experiments to show that a chemical change makes a new product and a physical change doesn't change the actual product, only how it looks.
