This week students learned about why an author writes a text and how to identify examples of an author's support for their chosen topic. Students read Eat Well, Feel Well in teams to identify the author's purpose and her support. Students then read a non-fiction text titled Homes Around the World for an assessment.

In math, students continued their practice with doubles by playing Race to the Top! Students completed their first math assessment this week started to learn about the relationship between addition and subtraction. Below Juji is explaining how the following two number sentences are related: 3+6 = 9  and 9-6 = 3.

In Social Studies, students learned about the past, present, and future. Students also learned how a timeline works, and we charted major events from the school year on a timeline to put our skills to practice.

This Friday was Mrs. Chinn's last session with us for Writer's Workshop. The students made her some thoughtful cards thanking her for her hard work. We will continue Writer's Workshop in class, and Mrs. Chinn will stop in to check on the student's progress.
