Writer's Workshop

  Students continued publishing their Informational Texts using Google slides this week. They used a checklist to assess various components of the piece, selecting "Not yet," "Almost," and "Yes." Students used this data to set a personal goal to work toward as they continue publishing.

Math 

  We spent time reviewing for our fractions assessment and really rocked the test! We also used valentine heart candy to review a variety of Math skills. Students wrote the amount of hearts they had in standard, word, and expanded forms. They created arrays and equations using the candy and also created a bar graph to reflect their colors.

Social Studies & Science
  Students completed their Oregon Trail simulation as they navigated a river, disease, and other challenging circumstances. 
Mrs. Branding introduced students to a new unit this week: Electricity. They studied protons, neutrons, and electrons, then completed an investigation about static electricity.
