Math: We continued with began Topic 8 this week. Students worked
through numerous word problems. They are beginning to get more familiar with
division and when to use it in relation to the other operations. Students
circulated through math rotations as I used my small group time to reinforce
and strengthen division skills. Their test will be next Thursday.
Check out our Math Rotations!

Reading: As a class we read the book, I Wonder
Why Penguins Can’t Fly. This is an informational book about the arctic poles.
Our focus this week was learning how to determine the main idea and
supporting details of a nonfiction text. I modeled this skill for students
in both whole group and small guided reading groups. In whole group, I read a
page about arctic plants. I modeled for students how I decided on the main idea
and determined the important details that the author included to support the
main idea.
After, I read students a page all about how arctic animals keep
warm during the winter. They were tasked with determining the main idea for
themselves and including the details that supported it in their reading
notebooks.
We also practiced this skill in our small guided reading groups
this week. One article we read was about Thomas Edison. Groups worked together
to determine that the main idea of the article was to teach the reader about
Thomas Edison’s accomplishments. Students then used the article to find and report
the main accomplishments included in the article.
Religion: We worked through Chapter 11 this
week. Lessons/discussions focused on the parish community and how parish life
is reflective of the lives led by the first Christians. We discussed ways in
which Catholics can love and serve God.
As we continue on in this Lenten season we continue learning the 5 Finger Prayer. We’ve been practicing as a class this week and will continue to do so next week. Soon students will be independently praying with the 5 finger prayer model. We’ve begin our prayer time with a modern song of praise. So far students have been introduced to 2 songs and they have been enjoying learning the lyrics. The songs are “I Want to Live with Abandon” by Newsboys and “How Great is Our God” by Chris Tomlin.
Writing: In honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday,
students wrote tongue twisters using alliteration! They used the beginning
sound of their name as the alliterative sound for their tongue twisters!
