Two more weeks until winter break!!!
We are still very busy learning every day. :) We continue to read informational text and are working on finding 2 main ideas with details to match. We also have practiced cause and effect, along with reasons and evidence.
In writing, we have been writing short informational articles about topics we have read about to practice writing in our own words. We have talked about writing headings and how important they are to nonfiction text.
We just started an short informational project related to what students are learning in science. All topics relate back to Force and Motion. They will be researching, writing, and creating a display to show off their learning. It will all end with a group presentation about what they learned. Ask your child what topic she/he chose. Some examples are...roller-coasters, catapults, and cannons.
Last Friday, in Social Studies, students shared their Native American Projects with the class. They enjoyed cookies and each other's company as they shared. It was a success! Look for those to come home in report card envelopes.
Reading Counts points are due by 12/18. I met with each child today to share their current progress. There will be small treat if they make their goals! I am proud of how much reading each class has been doing.
