We had a great week! Here are some things we worked on in class:
Writing - This week our nonfiction writers have been working on adding a glossary and an introduction to the writing pieces. Nonfiction authors can introduce their topic by using either a setting, a riddle, or a sound. Ask your student which style they used for their introduction!
Reading - Our nonfiction readers are doing some extra brainy thinking as we read. We have begun our research topic. First we created a plan of what we want to research. Now, our researchers are hard at work gathering facts.
Math - This week in math, we took our Unit 5 assessment and open response question.
Social Studies - For the past two weeks we have been learning about China and Lunar New Year. Our class had a wonderful time learning about Lunar New Year and the many special traditions that are celebrated during this holiday. Students explored customs such as family gatherings, festive decorations, and the importance of good fortune for the new year. We also learned many interesting facts about China and took a deep dive into the history and purpose of the Great Wall of China. The class was incredibly curious and eager to learn, asking thoughtful questions and showing great enthusiasm throughout our discussions!
