In Reading we focused on reading and finishing the book The Sign of the Beaver. We have been reading this story and answering questions related to the story. We have focused on making predictions, connections and asking questions. We really enjoyed this book! Next week we will take a test on this novel.
In Writing we continued working on Personal Opinion Essays. We looked at some stories and analyzed their big ideas and evidence from our own lives. We then thought of big ideas we could write about. We backed up these big ideas with evidence from our lives to make the essay more interesting.
In Math we started on Unit on Fractions. We learned what a fraction is and how to represent this using fraction bars. We also learned how to plot fractions on a number line. We will continue learning about this next week.
Remember to practice for the MSTEP at home. Just getting familiar with the program will help with taking the test here at school! Click on the link below to be taken to the MSTEP practice site!
