April 1st – 5th
Ms. Mann is well in to her second week of total teaching. I've been in and out of the classroom as we collaborate to plan lessons and work with the students. She's doing a great job and I'm so pleased with the engagement level of the students. They are learning so much!
Reminders:
The Eggs will hatch in 8 days!

Friday, April 12th Family Fun Night
Reading Workshop:
In Reading Workshop we will continue our unit on Research! We will learn about synthesizing. When
we synthesize, we put all of our thinking, our connections, our questions, and our references together
to make sense of the whole story, we construct meaning. As we learn we will be reading many different
books to practice this skill together, with partners and independently.
Writer’s Workshop:
In Writer’s Workshop we will continue working on our independent research projects. The students
choose a subject, a book and researched on the computer during our computer lab time. They will be
recording their learning on a folder with sections. We will share our projects when they are finished.
Math:
In math we will continue our unit on Fractions! We will connect our learning to real life situations
through problem solving. The students will be presented with a situation such as, if you and 4 friends
want to share a pizza with 10 slices how many slices does each person get.
Science:
In Science this week we will begin our unit on Animals. We will learn about Animal Characteristics and
Adaptations as we examine each animal group in depth. We will make a sketch of an animal from each
group in our Science Notebooks. We will label it’s body parts and discuss their functions. We will record
facts about each animal group in our notebooks. We will be learning about animals for two weeks!
