Literacy: We continued to study nonfiction this week. As we read, we place the information we are learning into different text structures such a flowcharts, comparison charts, timelines, boxes and bullets, and cause and effect. The students are getting really good at reading for detail and organizing their thoughts into a text structure that makes sense to them. We will begin research on an animal next week. Thank you to Alicia Plockmeyer for reading with us this week.
Social Studies: We have begun a new unit called The Economy of Michigan. This week we focused on resources in Michigan as well as scarcity and opportunity costs. Shopping at the 4th grade market day gave us a great jump start on our class discussions for this unit!
Math: We worked at multi-digit addition with regrouping this week. The students needed to be able to prove their work was correct with a proof drawing. We also played a few math games dealing with addition and place value.
Devotions: A big thank you to Joshua and Brayden in leading the class in devotions this week!
