"Our spring has come at last with the soft laughter of April suns and shadow of April showers."
We began our week with phonics and language arts. We read another humorous fiction from the Judy Moody series. We discussed the theme of the story and compared/contrasted it to our Anchor Text from last week.
Our Reading Buddies joined us this morning. Most students were able to finish reading The Gadget War with their PEA Buddy. We will begin a new chapter book with our buddies next week.
We will have our spelling pretest on Wednesday when we begin Lesson 17 and our next Anchor Text. Our next list focuses on words with the /j/ and /s/ sounds. The test will be given the following week on April 18th. Students will have a spelling assignment due on Thursday and Friday of this week.
We will continue to focus on fractions in math this week. Our Learning Objectives involve ordering fractions with the same numerator, writing a rule for ordering similar sets of fractions, partitioning distances to locate fractions on number lines, making and justifying fraction comparisons, and solving fraction number stories. Students will have a Home Link each night for homework.
We will continue to work on Inventions and Simple Machines throughout the week. Students are busy researching and planning for our PBL experience.
Have a fabulous week! :)
