Here is what we've been working on for the last couple of days:
Reading
You been reading the story of Akiak, and how this 10 year old dog finally won the Iditarod race! In our opinion, Akiak used of variety of life skills to get first place, so we collaborated in order to find evidence/clues within the text to support our evidence! We then utilize these clues to start writing a multi-paragraph opinion essay!
We've also been practicing our reading stamina during Read-to-Self!
Another skill that we have been practicing during reading block is the keyword strategy wherein we read an article or nonfiction text, and we jot down some keywords that'll help us recall the information we've read. We then utilize those keywords to recite to a partner the information we just read, and finally, we then write down what we said by you using those keywords! It's a great strategy to assist students in putting down information in their own words!
Math
Students have been exploring the different ways to record five and six digit numbers using expanded form.We have also been Exploring the structure of of five- and six digit numbers, and locating these numbers on a number line!
We had Pokemon Friday today!
And over the course of this week we've been staying fit and healthy by taking laps! We then record the number of laps we take each day which is just a good way track how how much exercise and getting!
And that's a wrap-up folks! Cheers, and have a good one!
