Week of January 6th

Blog Entry – January 6^th

LANGUAGE -   READING

Students will be examining how to bump up letters this week using the group letters they wrote before the break. They will then continue to write their letters on a bi-weekly basis starting the second week back after our holiday break.

We will be focusing on inferencing a reading comprehension strategy. 

WRITING

In writing the Grade 4’s will be starting procedural writing and the Grade 5’s will be moving into explanatory after their finish their persuasive advertisement presentations this week.

MATH

This week I will be offering extra practice and reviews for the patterning re-quiz which will be this Friday. I will hold extra math help on Tuesday at first break so students can meet with me twice before the re-quiz.

Math Help

Wednesdays (1^st break) and Fridays (2^nd break)

We will be continuing with our Data Management unit. Students have already read, interpreted and drawn conclusions from data in a whole class setting, group, and individual. As a class we have reviewed how to calculate the mean, median, and mode. Students have had the opportunity to create graphs in their problem of the week and as a class. This week we will create our criteria for creating bar, circle, pictographs, and line graphs.
