Geo-boards

In Readers' Workshop, students compared different ideas and characteristics using the matrix.  We will use this matrix to draw conclusions about text, make claims, and write about our reading.  Try comparing different people, things, ideas, texts, characters at home with your child!  See below for some examples.





In Writers' Workshop, students considered their audience's worries, feelings, concerns, etc. and addressed them in their persuasive speeches.





In Math Workshop, students used geo-boards to practice creating different polygons and lines. 

In Science, students created their bridge designs.  We will text tomorrow.


Homework:
  • Math homework
    • Update:  In our "scoreboard game" students voted to now play for homework problems rather than recess minutes.  This means some days your child will come home with 1-3 homework problems crossed out or 1-3 homework problems added.  
  • Multiplication Facts: 20 minutes
  • Read 20 minutes 
Reminders:
  • Unit 5 Math Assessment: Friday
  • Jump Rope for Heart:  Fridays
  • Report card envelopes:  Please return at your earliest convenience
Classroom Supplies:
  • Sticky Notes: Very low
