Only 4 days until Spring Break!
This week, students will be working with sequencing and placing steps in order. I'll focus on transition words (first, next, then, finally, after this, following this) which helps students develop complex sentence structures. We'll take a peek back at a CASE 21 passage and use that to help students recognize the order of events in a story. I'll give an assessment on sequencing on Thursday. In writing, we'll begin to focus on biographies and how to write a report about a famous person (covering only the important information to share with readers: birth, childhood, major events, what the person accomplished, death). This meshes well with our reading unit on sequencing. In math, we continue with fractions. Students are being exposed to equivalent fractions with visual models. I'm using games to reinforce the skills of recognizing fractions, finding equivalent fractions, and comparing fractions. Students will be given an assessment on Thursday to see if they have a strong understanding of fractions. On Monday, we have 2 special events. Mr. Burns will visit and read aloud a favorite book as a reward. Our class, along with Ms. Underwood's, finished at the top of third grade with Achieve 3000. Students definitely deserve the treat after working diligently to go back to the text to find their answers. The second event is the talent show that all classes will get to see. Fun day!!! I hope all of you have a safe and wonderful family time over Spring Break. Take care! Amy Flowers [email protected]
