In math this week, students continued to focus on number sense, with a focus on decimals. Students learned how to compare and order decimals, as well as round decimals. After the break we will continue with decimals, with a focusing on multiplying and dividing.
In language, students worked with our student teacher, Ms. Ana. She delivered a cross curricular unit around the question, "How should people treat each other?" They read the book "Wings" and wrote an alternate version. Students also created infographics for their stories.
Students are also now in literature circles. They are in a group of 4-6 people, and are reading a novel, much like a book club. Each week there will be a meeting on Tuesday and Thursday. Students are responsible for reading the decided upon pages, and completing their role sheet for each meeting. Literature circles is a very engaging way for students to improve their reading, thinking and oral communication skills.
