Have you heard about our new class set up? I took advantage of my college son being home on break to move our desks from a U shape to tables of seven. The students seem to like the change. Wish I had taken pictures as students came in the door the next morning. Great expressions of surprise. The tables allow for more room to spread out when we are reading and working in groups.
We completed our study of inferences today. Students have improved their ability to use information available in the text combined with their own experiences to infer. We are also approaching the end of our weather unit. Our focus this week has been on climate and weather patterns.Students have taken notes in their science journals documenting key vocabulary and weather symbols used in forecasting. They have also kept a weather journal. We will discuss different types of storms next week and the final assessment will be next Friday.
Our next math unit is data and probability. Students will soon be taking a pre-assessment and new classes will begin on Wed of next week.
