I hope you all enjoyed your unexpected long weekend!
Since our school week was shortened last week due to the cold and icy conditions, we'll be playing catch up in most subjects. In reading, students will continue writing their informative essays on the freaky frog they have chosen. On Tuesday, students will write a paragraph that will be graded as part of their mid assessment. The expectation is that students start their paragraph will a topic sentence and that they will write details that support that statement. The paragraph will be about the behavioral adaptations that their frog has in order to survive. In math, students will be working on solving multi step problems by first estimating and then finding the actual answer. This requires logic and reasoning skills and it helps for students to talk it out, explaining what steps they need to do in order to solve for the answer. They all want to jump to writing down numbers on their papers but I'm trying to get them to think about what the problem is asking so they can solve correctly. In social studies, we'll be studying the regions of North Carolina. By Friday, students should be able to label the regions, identify characteristics of each region, and name major cities that can be found in the three regions (coastal plain, piedmont, mountains). That's all for now. Thank you for your support. Amy Flowers [email protected]
