Phew...I think we are starting to settled in and get back into the swing of things. I have to say that last week the kids felt it, I felt it, and I am sure you all felt it. It was exhausting! We all forgot what it was like to have to go to school! This week the students settled in much better and we fastened our seat belts and got straight to work. This week.... Math: We finished our second go around on multiplication and division. Students took their module assessment. We are now on to perimeter and area! Literacy: We are continuing to study a character in depth from one of our chapter books. We are reading aloud Because of Winn Dixie in class right now, so we have been working together to learn a lot about Opal, the main character. Students are paying close attention to how their character talks and acts to help them establish a theory about what kind of person their character is. For example, we decided Opal is big hearted because she is always willing to open her heart to anyone. Writing: We are putting our finishing touches on our Expository pieces. Students have been working hard to write topic sentence, introductions, conclusions, and include text features in their final piece! We will move to opinion writing next! Social Studies: We are continuing to look into map systems and how they help us navigate our world. Students had the opportunity to learn how to code. They learned different symbols and then had to code their way to stacking cups in a certain order. The pictures below show a few students using arrows to code! Ask them all about it! They had another opportunity to code on their Chromebooks to participate in Hour of Code. Again, they can tell you all about it! Students also came home with a homework assignment for Social Studies. As a part of our PYP Unit, How the World Works, students are looking into how a map is useful for their journey from home to school. They have learned about the different components of a map and now need to use them on a map unique to them!
