We're on Unit 2: Addition + Subtraction. We're reviewing subtraction next week and will be taking our Subtraction assessment the last week of school before winter break.
This week students participating in a "breakout" challenged where they had to accomplish different subtraction and addition challenges to make it from Dunlap all the way to Australia! At the end when their group broke out and made it through the challenges, they got their photo taken in front of the green screen and we're turning these photos into postcards with a background of the coral reef. Check them out below!! So much fun!
*Subtraction Math Test will be TUESDAY.
READING
We are working on comparing and contrasting two texts. We'll be using quite a few media sources to do this (books, videos, articles, etc.) so we won't have a specific mentor text. A great way to practice this skill is by reading different versions of the same folktale or fairytale and having your connect similarities and differences! We're working on this skill through the month of December with both Fiction and Nonfiction.
WRITING
We've published our informational writing pieces! Be on the lookout for these next week coming home!
