We've learned all about what fractions are, what they look like, how to compare them, and how to add and subtract them this week! We will have two workshop review days on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, then take our chapter test on Thursday.
Reading
We are learning about alliteration, time lines, and cause and effect while we read! The Reading Theme 14 Test will be next Friday.
Writing
We have been prewriting our fiction stories this week. Students are creating and developing characters, settings, problems, and solutions of their story. We have a few ready to start drafting on Monday!
Science
This week we did all things fossils! We even created our own fossils using homemade playdough and branches. Our fossils are finally almost hardened and ready to go home.
