The children finished researching specific facts about their frog this week. We practiced planning and writing an introductory paragraph, with a clear focus statement that explains the main idea of their essays. Next week we will finish writing our body paragraphs which will focus on two of our frog's adaptations, then the children will practice writing a concluding paragraph. 

Students will complete their unit 4 math assessment for the year. Teachers will be reteaching skills as needed. Also students will take their Math DA on Tuesday over everything they have learned from this semester. When we return, students will begin unit 5 with two step word problems using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
