Here's what happened this week in our class:
Reading: This week we learned how to summarize a story. We learned that a summary is short and includes only the most important parts of a story. We read a few stories and tried to identify the character, what the character wanted to do, what the problem was, how the character solved the problem, and how the story ended.
Writing: In writing we started learning about Procedural Writing. We discussed the meaning of procedural writing and when it is used. We also made a list of ideas of things we could write about. Starting next week we will take some of these ideas and make them into writing pieces.
Bible: For Bible we learned about the baptism of Jesus and how He was tempted in the desert. We learned that Jesus is God's son through the story of His baptism. We also learned about temptation (wanting to do things that we know we shouldn't) and what we can do when it comes.
Math: On Monday we took our Unit 3 test and have now started Unit 4 on addition and subtraction strategies. This week we learned how to use the Change-to-More Model to help us with addition. We also continued practicing our different center rotations.
Science: This week we switched to Science with Mr. Fox and started learning about simple machines. We will continue Science for the next two weeks.
