Reading:
Please remind your child to read each night for 20-30 minutes, and record their minutes on their orange learning target sheet. Students are each in a reading series group where they chose what book their group would read. We've been discussing character traits and comparing and contrasting how the character and plot change throughout the book. Next week we will start reading the next book in the series.
Writing:
Students have been brainstorming topics for their realistic fiction story. They've been working hard at adding details, feelings, and character traits to their stories using a story mountain. We will start writing these stories tomorrow starting with a strong lead. I've been so impressed with the amount of thought students have put into their stories!
Math:
This week we've moved into reading and creating pictographs and bar graphs. Students have caught on to this quick! Representing data is our last 'big idea' before we finish up this unit. Next week we will review the unit and take our unit test.
Social Studies:
Last week we focused on lumbering and growth. This week we've moved into discussing copper and iron mining. Students have made connections between farming, lumbering, and mining and how towns "grew up" when these important economic activities started in a new region in Michigan. This Friday we will celebrate Michigan's 181st birthday!
