Curriculum Update April 25, 2017
MATH:
In a week or so we will start Unit 9 "Multiplication and Division"
LANGUAGE ARTS:
It continues to be an exciting time in both reading and writing. Students are developing more advanced skills and are making meaningful connections to both what they read and write. Our focus in reading is on informational text. Students are being provided experiences that allow them to identify important elements on this type of text. Learning targets include identification of main idea and details, text structure and author’s purpose. In writing, we are enjoying the opportunity to share our thoughts and opinions in writing. Please continue to support your child’s reading and writing progress by ensuring ample time to practice at home.
SCIENCE:
This week in Science students created instruments in the Maker Space. They used this time to construct instruments of their design. This was a culmination activity for students to create an instrument after 4 weeks of instruction. Students created percussion, wind and string instruments from recycled materials. Thank you to all the parents that helped with the design and construction.
