May 23 - 27

Hi Everyone,

Here is what we worked on this week:

Reading - We continued to practice reading out loud:

- with a loud and clear voice

- using expression

- stopping at periods and paying attention to punctuation

Writing - We wrote a climbing story about a character with a kite.  The story had all of the parts of a climbing story:

1. Great Beginning (included 5 facts about the character and 5 facts about the setting)

2. Main Event - introduces the problem

3. Solution #1 - that does not work

4. Solution #2 - that does not work

5. Solution #3 - that works

6. Extended Ending - ends with a feeling, memory, decision, or a wish

Math - We worked on addition, subtraction, 3D shapes, graphing, and word problems

Science - We learned a lot about Buoyancy and Boats in our in-school field trip from Teachers Pet.

- Sinking and Floating Objects

- Different types of boats

- Keels

- and more!

Social Studies - We learned more about the Blackfoot First Nations culture and people.

Have a great weekend!
