What's Happening in Room 216
Our Current Focus in the following content areas:
Reading- We are working in book groups and reviewing the book report components. We are reading Because of Mr. Terupt by Rob Buyea for our read aloud.
It is important for students to read a book of their choice for two hours every week.
Math-We are working on fractions. This involves equivalent fractions, improper fractions, mixed numbers, and using fractions in number stories. We are also spending part of our math time preparing for our visit to Young Ameritowne. The concepts we have studied are monthly budgets, managing a checkbook, and philanthropy.
Social Studies- We will begin an extensive study of the Constitution. This will prepare us for the We the People group presentations.
Writing- The next unit of study will be writing fiction stories. Students will learn to use dialogue, interesting leads, similes, metaphors, and personification to enhance their stories. We will focus on building a story from a strong central character and include three main events.,
Science- The next unit of study will be weather. We will focus on various aspects of weather including: temperature,how soil and water effect changes in temperature, air pressure, and clouds.
