Week of Feb 16, 2015

Today we worked on a problem of the day. We used information from the problem to find out how many kilometers OSHA traveled. We used 44, multiple of 4, and divisible by 5 and 8.

In readers worked shop we worked on infer meaning throughout features

Mrs.Randall gave us a article that was called community life. At closing meeting we each said how the text features helped us infer in the Maya community life.

We did a where in Vermont Skype. Mia, Porter and Owen are figuring out what questions to ask Mrs.Cioffi's class at Mallets bay school. They are our question command center and use a flow chart to pick questions. We asked them qustions to find out where they are located.

We Skyped Mrs.Cioffi class at Mallets Bay school. She used to teach with Mrs. Randall!

In math we used a cool site! It is called visual fractions.

A bunch of people have added to our tweet board, ask your child to bring home a tweet sheet and we post it on are tweet board!

We are writing argument pieces on a topic we feel strongly about. We are sending these amazing pieces to Mr.Till and Mr.frank (our local representatives).

This week we focused on fractions!

Congratulations to Greta! Her work is highlighted on our Marvelous Math wall this week!

On Tuesday we did wondering Wednesday. We are making some cool things. Aidan and Amos

Aidan and Amos are making a maze for Aidan's lizard and Svieta and Theo and Alec are making some armor.

We love Four Winds!! Mr. Burkins came in and taught us a lot about sound!

Ending with a song...priceless!

In math workshop we explored fractional parts of a group. We shared our strategies and backed up our thinking with visual representation.

Weekly Reader Magazine- we had a great discussion and debate. This is the "sticky situation". What advice would you give?

Book clubs presented their text and made connections to what we are learning in our civics/government unit.

Mentor text! We have explored many text that use the craft of opinion. Today we self-assessed our draft and will hold peer conferences when we return from break.

Our math launch today was a fun Nearpod lesson!

We use visual models to help us compare and add fractions! Fraction bars, a number line, or the area model are helpful!

Discussion directors lead as we explore Weekly Reader magazine.

We also play a fun game that requires players to use what they know from their reading.

It was a great week! See you in March!

Mia and Adah
