Writing:
We are going to finish our travel brochures this week. Students have done a great job of picking a location that they love and writing about the four best things to do while they are there. We are working on our final copies and they will be up on the bulletin board later in the week so be sure to check out our favorite places!
Reading:
We are continuing on with our study of folk tales. Last week we covered fairy tales and had fun comparing different versions of Cinderella. Who knew that the well known fairy tale had stretched to Cinderelephant and Cinderella Skeleton? This week we will be studying fables, myths, and tall tales. We will read plenty of examples of each and learn about the characteristics that make it unique!
Math:
We are moving onto fractions this week. We will start slow with equal and unequal shares and learn about what it means to split an item into halves, fourths, eighths, and thirds. We will be making candy pizzas to help us learn about fourths. Students will be responsible for displaying their knowledge of fractions using fraction words rather than the normal fraction notation. This way, students learn more about what the words mean rather than memorizing a formula.
Science:
We are continuing with our study of maps. This week we will be labeling important places in Texas. Students will also be making a map of their bedroom. All of this is leading up to our final project, where students will be making a map of their own pirate map!
