HARD WORKERS

With the start of some new routines, we had plenty to focus on this week.  Our class of All Stars responded well with great work on their Native American studies, division, and our reading book clubs.  This dynamic will continue the couple weeks as we delve deeper into each of these topics.  In science, we are sharing our awesome CPBL wordles as inspired by our work in the field through the beginning of the year.  Be sure to check out the wordles with the link to the 2016-2017 CPBL page to the right. Below is the weekly plan for each subject.  Please be sure to check the Powwow theme calendar and packet in the Friday Folder.

READING:  This week our literature journal focus was on summaries.  Next week, we will look closer at another reading comprehension strategy while we read the second section of our Native American themed books.  Students are also making their book share plans to try and have 3 completed before the trimester ends.

SS/WRITING: This week, students worked in groups planning to present on various Native American regions.  We will share this work next week and choose our topic for our Native American museum project.

MATH: Division, division, division!  Next week, the numbers get larger as we get into dividing 3 digit by 2 digit numbers.  Student finished a nice math poster of a multiplication/division problem this week.  Check out some past posters below.

SCIENCE:  In science we are sharing our Wordle inspirations from our field experiences. We will use our discussions to choose our year long science study and community project.
