Parents, thank you for such a great turn out at conferences. It is always nice to visit with you!
This week is flying by! I'm sorry it has taken me until Wednesday to get blogging!
We had a great time on our field trip on Tuesday, but I am sure you already heard all about that! Thanks to those who volunteered to help out. You really made our day go smoothly!
In math this week we are again working with fractions as we begin Unit 5. Students continue to practice drawing fractions with dot paper and compare them with fractions made with pattern blocks.
In writing this week we are beginning a new writing piece on persuasive dialogue. The students are choosing two topics to argue. They are pre-writing with a list of pros and cons for each side and then writing a dialogue between two people as they debate the issue. This will not only teach them persuasive writing, but it will also help them practice writing with quotations. I would really like for these to be finished by Tuesday of next week. Please take them time to help your students with editing/revising.
If your child is going to be gone next week please let me know ahead of time and I will do my best to get them work.
