Week of March 9th

We worked hard today using the guess/check/think and revise strategy! This pod was challenging, but we persevered! Here is Owen's work.

 

We took time to reflect on what we've learned through the Second Step program. This will help us think about the skills that were most helpful and let Mrs. Randall know what she might need to reteach.

In our second block of writing we are doing an on demand writing piece. We planned, wrote and edited an opinion piece in one sitting!

For read aloud we are reading a book called pay it forward. It is about acts of kindness.

Today Andrew had a celebration and we did some jams that were really fun. Nice job Andrew!

Today in science we were working on our testable question.we have to think of a question and and think if it Is testable or not. Then, each family created a materials list and clear plan. On Wednesday each family will conduct their investigation. Our focus is properties of matter.

We made fraction cards and then played a bunch of games with them.
 
Word study- noticing word patters and sorting

When we ask questions before, during and after we read, we dig deeper into the text and infer meaning.

Subheadings- some are explicit (clear) and some are inferential (you need to infer the meaning). What do you think of these subheadings?
