We launched our non-fiction reading and writing units today! Check out what we noticed about features of non-fiction and our topic choices for our informational essays! ๐ โ๏ธ
We are making our narratives come to life by stretching out all the parts with feelings, setting, dialogue, inner thinking, actions, and sound! We even stretched out the story, Rollercoaster by Marla Frazee!
September has been so much fun! Community building, place value/number sense, narrative writing, fiction reading, and more! Hereโs to a great year ๐ฑ! Love my bobcats!
Fiction writing โ๏ธ is so much fun! My creative writers are trying out different story ideas and developing characters! ๐ฅฐ๐๐คฉI am so proud of them!
A fun and busy week in here ! We wrapped up our traditional literature projects where we studied a story and identified details about theme, characters, setting, and major events / problems! We also continued to learn big ideas about fractions!
What comes to your mind when you hear the word, โfraction?โ For me, I think of ๐ ๐ฐ ๐ฅง and ๐ซ ! My students blew my mind when they shared all that they ALREADY know about fractions! They also helped Mr. Fox figure out that his colored part of paper does not represent 1/4 !
We are a diverse group of dividers!!! ๐งฎ โโ๏ธโโโ๏ธ How do you like to divide ? Partial Quotient, Long Division, Equal Groups, Repeated Subtraction, or something else?
We wrote long about Nyasha and Manyara from Mufaroโs Beautiful daughters by determining their character traits and supporting the traits with relevant text evidence! We found that the two sisters are total opposites! Do you differ from your sibling(s)? How so? โ๏ธ ๐ฑ โ๏ธ ๐
We are preparing for our literary essays by exploring different texts, determining character traits, important details, and theme! So far we have read The Paper Bag Princess and Jamaicaโs Find! Excited to continue with the rest of our stories! Stay tuned! โ๏ธ
