December's Flying!

The month of December is flying by!  We are trying hard to stay focused on our learning, while the exciting of the holiday season is upon us!

Currently in math we are learning about frames & arrows problems.  These are basically a fancy format for students to practice skip counting forward and backward.  This is a skill that we have been working on all year, it is just being presented in a different format.

Our new word wall words this week are:  if, not, us, very.  We also wrote sentences today which included a name and an action word which began with the same letter.

During writer's workshop we are continuing to write information all about teaching books.  Some features of information text that we have recently learned about include:  table of contents, how to writing, and writing lists.

This week we dove into our next science unit, which is matter.  Students are working in small groups to explore a variety of solids and sort them based on their properties.
