Weekly News for February 24th- February 28th:
Learning Goals:
Reading: This week in reader's workshop we begin a new set of book clubs centered on student-interest based informational books. Students will become experts on topics and increase their familiarity with different kinds of text and reading strategies. A large goal of this unit will be that students collaborate with one another in more complex ways.
Science: This week we will continue to study a variety of maps and informational books about maps. Students will use venn diagrams to compare and contrast maps. This would be a great time to discuss waterways and landforms your family has seen in Michigan.
Math: This week we will introduce a new graphic organizer called "Quantity, Quantity, Difference" (see left) to help students organize information in comparison number stories. Additionally, we will spend some time this week reading bar graphs.
