Week 15

 Dear Parents,

      This week in math we learned all about division. We earned that division is sharing something giving everyone or everything an equal amount. We also learned how to write a story problem representing a division sentence. At the end of the week, we began a skip counting book. Then we began focusing on counting hundreds, tens, and ones.

      In writing we worked all week on our expository paper about why we like our favorite holiday. We have wonderful reasons! Some of us tried using time order words to break up our reasons. We went back to add interesting words and details.

In reading we learned how to ask and answer questions before, during, and after we read. We read the story Going Places and took a comprehension test. We began researching Landmarks using the facts4me website.

       In Science we were finishing up our unit on Patterns of Movement. We made a movement flip book, wrote a CER about our knowledge ( made a claim, gave evidence, and a reason for our claim), took a closing in on Science assessment, and our post assessment.
