We are taking Math test over subtraction on Tuesday! We are waiting to start a new chapter in math until after conferences.
Reading + Writing
We wrapped up theme 4 with a test today, and will start theme 5 after conferences. We're starting Nonfiction Reports on planets this week. Students buddied up with a partner to learn about a particular planet (or aspect of our Solar System) and are creating a nonfiction report.
We read Stellaluna, and practicing finding story elements. We also practiced analyzing characters and how they change throughout a story.
Science
We are still focusing on the Solar System!
Next week, we have conferences! The kids are preparing to lead out the conferences and are so excited. I know they will do great sharing their progress with you. Because of the short 3-day week, we are not starting a new reading theme or math chapter. We will be using next week to be preparing for conferences and practicing math and literacy in ways related to the season of Fall!
