2018 is in full swing! We had to make some adjustments to our schedule, but we have used every minute as mathematicians, writers, historians, and scientists!
In reading and writing, we've continued our work on analyzing poetry. We are becoming figurative language experts, and are noticing, understanding, and using it in our own writing! Mrs. Forrest is modelling and showing us strategies on how to vary our sentences.
Our study of Texas missions is wrapping up. We've learned how their lifestyle was vastly different from our own. We've also examined different perspectives on the influence of the Spanish culture on Texas then and now.
We're moving right along in our fraction work, with 3rd graders learning about mixed numbers and making connections between fractions and division. 4th grade continues to build understandings about equivalent fractions and strategies for comparing fractions.
We completed our mid-year benchmarks, and we are so proud of the effort each child gave!
Next week, look for Learning Habits to resume. There are a few changes, which we've gone over explicitly. Thank you for your ongoing support in signing completed work, and ensuring accuracy.
Have a great 3-day weekend - so excited to see all of those science fair projects on Tuesday morning!
