Kara Bell had an awesome Special Week!
______________________________________________________
Curriculum Updates The paper folders came home today!
Reading: We finished our novel, Number the Stars. We are working on a "body poster" for the main character, Annemarie. These will analyze her traits, inner thoughts, and challenges. The posters will be on display for a bit and then come home.
Math: We assessed improper fractions and the conversion to mixed numbers. Next, we will work on equivalent fractions, simplifying, and comparing fractions.
Language Arts: This week, we did more intensive review of what proper editing and revising entails. The girls helped me create an anchor chart to use when we review our papers and help our peers improve their written work. We put this to use in previously written paragraphs.
Social Studies: We finished taking notes from the historical fiction novel Ranger: Long Road to Freedom. We will begin a Civil War project "museum exhibit".
