Writing/Spelling
Students have finished researching their topics for the second informational book. They have also written the introduction for Chapter 1 and started writing under their Chapter 1 headings. They are doing great, and I can already tell that these books will be even better than the first ones! This week we will continue to write Chapter 1 and work on text features.
Reading
In reading we discussed tricky words in nonfiction and started the glossary for our informational books. We are about halfway through our read aloud, "Rump."
Math
The Chapter 8 Test on fractions is tomorrow, 2/8. Students should have a completed study guide at home. Chapter 9 involves adding and subtracting fractions, including mixed numbers. They will also multiply fractions and whole numbers.
Social Studies
This week we played an interactive game where we were slaves that had to escape the plantation we worked (see pictures below)! We we will finish our study of slavery and Chapter 6 this week.
