Hello everyone!
We have had a very busy week here at BEU! The kids are working hard in math and reading, and we are learning a lot about US geography! Plus, we are so excited to get our classroom ipads! We will be able to work with so many cool learning applications!
Here is a quick update:
Writing-
We are redrafting our personal narrative essays, and focusing on leads and dialogue (showing not telling)
Math-
This week we will be adding and subtracting whole numbers.
Reading-
In reading, we have been studying story elements and characters. We are also working on our Daily 5 expectations, and have added a "Read to Someone" option, which helps fluency and accuracy.
Social Studies-
Next week, we will have our quiz over the US states, continents and oceans, and Missouri features.
I think that's about it for now...we have scheduled a Planetarium visit in the near future, but I will have more on that as it gets a little closer. See you next week, and enjoy your weekend.
