- We began looking for instances of cause and effect in the texts we are reading.
- Third graders chose one of their story outlines for their realistic fiction story. Next, they are developing their characters.
- Fourth graders continued to analyze examples of literary essays. We also read a short story and the students brainstormed themes to match the story.
- Our exploration of division strategies continues. We have been focusing on the strategy of multiplying up to the dividend.
- The students worked in groups to engineer a working circuit that contained a switch.
- Third graders are also reading about the concept of force.
- Fourth graders attended the introductory meeting for Economics Day. They are each responsible for developing a plan for a good or service to sell at Economics Day on February 12th. Additional information on the project went home last week. Please read it carefully with your students. Although this project will be done entirely at home, the students will be reading more about economics during guided reading time.
