Week in Review, March 18-22, 2024

In Writing & Reading, we continued working on our "All About" projects. Students were so proud to share them with you during conferences. After break, we will start our final writing unit, From Scene to Series (Writing Realistic Fiction) and our last reading unit, Meeting Characters and Learning Lessons (Realistic Fiction) . 

In Word Study, we continued learning about long vowel sounds. This week we learned that "ie" and "igh" make the long "i" sound. You will usually find "ie" at the end of the word, but "igh" can be found in the middle or at the end. Please practice the new heart words "always" and "almost". 

In Math, we continued Unit 6, Length Measurements Within 120 Units. 

We learned how to choose and use objects to compare lengths of other objects indirectly. Students are enjoying this hands on unit!

In Science, we wrapped up and reflected on our "Let's Ask Nature" unit. After break, we will start our Light and Sound unit. In this unit students will plan and conduct investigations with a variety of materials to further their understanding of the properties of light and sound. They will construct explanations by providing evidence for a claim. Then, they will design and build a device that uses sound or light to communicate over a distance.
