Busy, Busy, Busy!!!

December 14, 2018

 

Greetings from Room 116!

Hard to believe it’s already mid-December! What a busy time of the year! Here’s a quick recap of our past week:

ELA: We finished our realistic fiction books, maintaining our focus on character development along with an analysis of problem/resolution. We also continued to add description and sensory details to our writing (show don’t tell); therefore, adjectives continued to be a focus in grammar. In spelling, we studied different “consonant cluster” phonics principles.

Math: We worked on multi-step story problems, while using variables to represent the unknowns. We also took our End-of-Module 3 assessment and started our next unit which focuses on area measurement.

Science/SS: We conducted a lab on inherited and acquired traits. In addition, we added to and revised our Wampanoag biographies.

Other: In Library/Technology, we viewed our weather videos and expanded our coding expertise. During Calmer Choice, we discussed various ways to manage our emotions.

We ended the week with an all-school meeting to launch our Penny Harvest fundraiser. As a reminder, the EHBi Holiday Concert will begin at 10:00 am on Thursday, 12/20/18. Best wishes to all for a wonderful weekend!

Most Sincerely,

Ms. Feeney
