Math

This week in Math, students worked with place value and practiced writing the three forms of numbers: standard, expanded, and word.  We also worked in math partnerships to complete a few assignments.  Students completed an ALEKS pre-assessment.  ALEKS is a computer program that allows students to practice math skills based on each child's specific needs.  

Rachel, Miss Roth, & Zoe play Addition War with three addends.  

Reader's Workshop

During Reader's Workshop, we spent time setting up our Reading Journals.  Students compiled a "To Read" list, and also practiced their stamina reading. 

Ciara & Jacob explore traditional literature during our Book Frenzy. 

Alondra & Miles take a look at some poetry and jot down some titles they'd like to read.  

Anina & Gage thumb through informational text to see what looked interesting.  

Writer's Workshop

Students generated ideas in their Writer's Notebooks by creating a heart map, personal map, and memory chain.  They will use these ideas for future writing pieces.  

Science & Social Studies

Students worked as scientists with Mrs. Branding and began the investigation and inquiry process.  In Social Studies, we learned about geography, the study of the world, as well as the five themes of geography: location, place, region, movement, and human interaction. 

Students listed some of their favorite texts from the year, then shared their recommendations with classmates.  Together, we created a Summer Reading Bucket List to ensure we have ideas of what to read throughout the summer.

Sophia, Eliza, & Molly show off their magazine portfolios.  

Today, we discussed the importance of reading over the summer to ensure we are as strong as ever when fifth grade begins in August.  We brainstormed a list of places we'd like to read during the warmer months.

Today, we visited the Daniel Boone Historical Site.  Although the weather was a bit cold, we had a wonderful time!  The students were EXTREMELY well-behaved: they used self-control on the bus ride, treated adults and peers with respect, and enjoyed learning about Daniel Boone, one of America's most famous pioneers.  Thank you to Mrs. Lawrence, Mrs. Heavey, & Mr. Maguire for chaperoning our trip!
