Class News
In reading this past week, we learned about summarizing and synthesizing.  In math we worked on fractions, including equivalent fractions.  In writing we continued with our short fiction unit, where the students are putting their characters into everyday situations while showing what their characters do, say, think and feel in each moment.   In social studies we continued to learn about Illinois history, including Illinois government.  The students researched various topics, created posters, and will teach the rest of the class about their topic next week.  Our next science unit is Light and will begin at the end of April.

In math, we learned about extended facts and ratios, and we did a basketball math activity where we wrote number models with parentheses.  We also did a review day on Thursday, and our test will be on Monday.

In communication, we practiced combining sentences with verbs.

In reading, we finished up our reading partnerships and created paper bag book reports.  We presented these to the class this week.  Next week we will begin to focus on summarizing and synthesizing.
