We have been VERY busy in room 306! Here's what we have been up to:
- In ELA, we have been learning about figurative language. Students have been creating different examples of figurative language, as well as identifying it. We have also been reading the novel Hoot as our class literature circle. The book encourages great discussions, and so far everyone is enjoying it! We have also been practicing responding to reading using a claim and 2 supporting details from the text. Finally, we have been reviewing paragraphing as we write practice essays.
- In science, we are still studying electricity. In lab, we made circuits with a battery, copper paper, and an led bulb. The students were able to keep their STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) creations. Please look for them tonight!
- In math, we have been learning about geometry. We have been reviewing angles and geometry vocabulary words. We also learned how to make a line plot to represent information. We are still working on area and perimeter. Next week, will continue on with geometry and math review.
- Students have been working on creating a movie trailer for a myth that they are researching during library time. They are off to a great start!
- I generally stay after school and offer math help. If you think your child would benefit from some extra practice, let me know and I will keep them.
Have a great weekend, and thank you for your support! Check out our photos from lab today!
