ELA:  Our class novel this week was Magic Treehouse – Pirates Past Noon.  This was an adventurous story with many twists and turns.  We discussed the elements of this book that made it both a fictional and non-fictional novel.   We also went over spelling patterns of r-controlled words and reviewed homophones.  Lastly, questioning and answering techniques while reading were addressed.

Writing:  We read The Best Part of Me by Wendy Ewald.  Students wrote opinion pieces describing what they felt what the best part of them including the entire writing process – pre-write (opening . body . closing), edit, and final draft.

Math:  We are focusing on addition and addition strategies for fluency.  Multiple strategies and techniques were explored for these mathematicians.

Science: Evaporation

Social Studies:  Map explorations
