Literacy - We finished our read aloud book, 4th Grade Rats, and continued working in our reading groups. We discussed the story arc of 4th Grade Rats, and students had to discuss each element (introduction, rising action, climax, falling action, conclusion). Students continued to work on their novel unit studies.
Math - We continued our unit on fractions with a focus on placing fractions on a number line. We continue to review and practice making equivalent fractions. Students are using their multiplication skills to help create equivalent fractions. Look for extra practice worksheets under the Homework section of the site. Writing - We finished our cumulative writing piece for our Narrative writing unit. Students were then asked to "grade" their writing pieces using a student-friendly rubric. There were several elements that we were looking to add to our stories, I was very impressed with their powerful word choices and added dialogue! Science - We continued our new unit on electricity! We reviewed circuits, electrical currents, and learned how to illuminate a light bulb. Students worked in pairs to recreate several circuits that we learned about...check out our photo's page for more! Microsociety - Ventures and Marketplace are still on break while some students change jobs and businesses are using this time to learn from previous operations to enhance their business going forward. Mission statements and goals were created, and each venture hired a financial manager. We are looking to reopen the marketplace by the end of the month! ** Students continued Health class this week.
