Here is a quick update of some things we have been doing in class.
Reading:
Students have been working on using context clues to find the meaning of unknown words. We have learned many strategies and clues to look for that help us know what a word means.
Math:
We have been working extremely hard on two-step word problems. These are proving to be very challenging for most students but this is a topic that will require a lot of practice! Please continue to work with your child at home on multi-step word problems. You can use websites such as Front Row, IXL, common core sheets, etc. Or just review sent home work with your child. :)
Science:
Students have been reading many information articles and books about the skeletal and muscular systems. They are beginning to compare the two systems and see what is the same between both and what makes them unique. The students loved this simple activity of writing facts on the papers for each system! :)
I know the students are tired and ready for a break! They truly deserve one they have been working so hard. I hope you all enjoy your holiday with your families and friends!!
