Recap May 19-22

In Language, this week we started our narrative writing unit.  The students had a chance to work with partners to create a story outline and afterwards they worked on creating their own stories based on the ideas that they brainstormed with their partners.  At this point the students are learning how to add dialogue and description to their writing.  In reading the students learned about different elements of non-fiction texts.  They were excited to be able to take out a non-fiction book from the library to read in class.

In Math, we continued our probability unit. The students created posters, and worked on different scenarios using key terminology for our unit (i.e. Impossible, unlikely, likely, certain).  Next week the students will be learning the words more likely, less likely, and equally likely and will be using them to explain the different chances for winning a game that they create.

In Science, we continued our structures unit. The students learned about fasteners (items which hold two different parts together). The students also had a chance to use their 5 senses to describe an apple during their apple experiment.

In Gym, the students continued to work on their introduction to soccer unit where they played 4-on-4 indoor soccer.

The following link is one that we used in class and explains the elements necessary when story writing.
