Hi everyone!
Here is a summary of our learning last week.
Reading
We are still working on showing expected behaviors as we transition into the last 2 months of school. We had a class discussion on making good choices at recess, and have been ending our day with Closing Circle where we reflect on the school day.
As always, please contact me if you have any questions!

Here is a summary of our learning last week.
Reading
- Guided Reading groups are doing an excellent job during Book Talks!
- We are focusing on making inferences as we read, along with identifying character traits and how characters' feelings change.
- In groups, students are making traits posters, writing journal entries, or writing discussion questions to help them to demonstrate their understanding.
- We completed activities to help build or support our background knowledge about Pilgrims.
- In partners, we practiced writing realistic journal entries from a classmate's perspective. We tried to make the entry realistic and from the person's voice and point of view.
- Last, we got our Pilgrim Journal assignments. We look forward to writing our journals and finding out more the families about their journey on the Mayflower.
- The math portion of the MCAS required perseverance, but the class did a great job of checking over their work and applying their test taking strategies.
- After the test, we had guided M.A.T.H centers where groups focused on different skills. We have really grown as mathematicians this year!
- We also completed a check-in about fractions to help us sort into small groups for the coming weeks.
- The tadpoles have been an exciting addition to our classroom! Students enjoy making observations and caring for the tank.
- We completed an activity where we guessed whether various Amphibian facts were True or False. Next, we will be reading about Amphibians and then confirming or revising our predictions.
