I hope everyone has a good holiday. I look forward to seeing you at your scheduled conference time. Everyone has a scheduled conference. If you are unsure of your time please let me know. I will be sending home a conference reminder note Wednesday to those who have not received one yet.
In math we are working on division with two digit divisors. We have used the Explain Everything app twice to create captivating iPad presentations that demonstrate the problem solving process as it relates to division word problems.
In ELA, our work in guided reading has focused on learning strategies to become better at summarizing non-fiction and researching. We have learned how to take notes on index cards. We have also learned the Sketch to Stretch strategy. This strategy involves making a sketch for every given number of paragraphs read and then using your sketches to help you write your summary. We are also busy writing free choice stories and poetry.
In science we are reflecting on our completed Design Process Projects. We will share them with the 3rd grade on Wednesday morning. We are also writing Metro City Zoo descriptive writing pieces that involve taking the role of a newspaper journalist reporting on an animal that escaped from the zoo.
