What's Happening in the Classroom?
In Reading, we started our a new story in our Junior Great Book. We read The No-Guitar Blues and Thank You Ma'am. Both stories addressed citizenship qualities that learners were encouraged to implement. This week we started stations that we will continue next week.
In Math, we continued our journey on fractions. We took out our fraction tiles and found ways to create equivalent fractions. We also looked at how fractions and decimals relate and can show the same value.
In Writing, we are continuing to work on the Writing Process, focusing on brainstorming and choosing three quality reasons. We will pick back up in January with Mentor Sentences and next week will be the last week for spelling tests until January.
In Science, learners we are coming to a close with our study of electricity. We began our ADI investigation that will include examining fossils from Germany and investigating what the land was like millions or years ago.
This week the classes also began the 12 Days of Kindness Challenge. Be looking on our Twitter feeds for acts of kindness that are happening in the classroom.
