In math we worked on wrapping up our place value unit. We were able to see what students have a firm grasp on in place value and addition and subtraction from the unit assessment. Next week we will focus on reviewing and really focusing in on areas that the students need to work on the most based on the results of the assessment.
On Monday you will be receiving your child's Math Envelope. This will include some of the work that your child has completed throughout this math unit. We want you to be able see how your child has been doing in math over the past few weeks. Please make sure you sign and return the envelope with the papers inside and send back by this Tuesday.
In reading we continued to work on asking questions. We read the story A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon. We asked lots of questions and worked hard on also trying to ask questions that are "talk worthy." We learned that these types of questions often are focused around theme, author, lesson, message, or characters. We decided on the question that we were most interested in and worked on "tracking" that answer throughout the book. We found lots of EVIDENCE to prove to us what the lesson really was in this book.
In social studies we visited Hershey, Pennsylvania and learned about mass production. We also thought about the advantages and disadvantages of having a machine do the work over people. We have a few more stops in the Northeast, but are leaning a lot along the way.
Just a reminder that conferences are going to be Wednesday and Thursday this week. I sent your conference time home with your child last week. Please fill out the questionnaire and return by Monday.
Enjoy the weekend!
