Writing: We will be continuing Opinion Writing. The kids are doing really well with remembering to write their introduction which is where they state their opinion and then give at least three reasons to support their opinion. We have been working on the difference between a good reason and a plain reason. When writing which is our favorite between fruit and vegetables, we discussed how the reason to like fruit is not that it is yummy, instead they had to tell me more like the juice is sweet. They have been getting the hang of it!! Then to wrap up their opinion writing they have to write their conclusion, which is restating their opinion. They have been doing really well with opinion writing!
Math- Next Tuesday we will be completing our study guide and taking the unit 7 assessment on Wednesday. Our focus in unit 8 is on place value using tens and ones. We have been touching on this concept in unit 7 so it should be a nice transition into unit 8.
Social Studies- Our focus next week is going to be on polar animals. The kids love anything to do with animals so this will be fun for them! We are going to be discussing their habitat and what adaptations the animals have that enable them to live in such cold environments. On Friday we will be doing a blubber experiment and I will try to take a lot of pictures to show on Class Dojo!
