 The last week before April vacation! There is no school on Friday --it is Good Friday.
Here is the plan for this 4-day week: Reading: This week we'll be working in reading groups for the first time. Students will be in a reading group with others around their reading level. We'll practice the strategies we learned from Reciprocal Teaching, which went quite well last week. We'll be reading about Joseph Plumb Martin, a soldier in the American army, and Sybil Ludington, a young girl who rode through the countryside to round up Minutemen. Students will focus on identifying information on why each person is important. Writing: Students will finish an essay about Molly Pitcher, started last week, describing her actions and bravery at the battle of Monmouth and explaining how she shaped history. We will then work on a role-play writing assignment. Students will pretend to be movie makers and will write a memo to their boss explaining why they want to make a movie about Sybil Ludington or Joseph Plumb Martin. Math: Last week we had an assessment on addition and subtraction of fractions.This week we investigate multiplication of fractions. We start with modeling fractions times whole numbers using drawings and manipulatives. Then we learn the standard way. We then learn how to multiply a fraction times a fraction the standard way. If we have time, we'll get a sneak peak at how to multiply mixed numbers using an area model --tough stuff! Comments are closed.
