Wow, did we come back from Thanksgiving to rock out this week! During both writing and reading we learned strategies for summarizing text, both fiction and nonfiction. Together we summarized King of the Parking Lot, and then students broke into pairs to summarize either Skeletons Inside and Out or Movers and Shapers. We focused on selecting only the most important details, including key words from the story, and incorporating transitions in order to compose a fluid piece of writing. We will share these Monday, and I can't wait to hear them!
Unit 3 in math is HEAVY in fractions. We have worked extensively on identifying and creating equivalent fractions, converting tenths to decimals, and relating fractions to tenths and hundredths. Below we are playing a game called Fraction Match, which is a lot like Uno...only you lay cards based on the same denominator or being equivalent rather than being the same color or number!
These two were GREAT helpers...they went through all my place-value manipulative boxes and reorganized them. Super helpful!!! Thanks, boys!!!
