In reading we are reading such a great book! The students are loving Maniac Magee! We are reading with partners, on our own, in groups, and as a class. They are getting the chance to see what life was like when the towns were segregated, and how a little boy lived life as though the towns were not. This is a great book and it has a lot of great lessons within the text! The author uses TONS of figurative language, so we are practicing that as we read!
Most students are finishing up their country reports on Monday or Tuesday. We have quite a few students who are already finished! Stay posted next week toward the end of the week for a picture of our country report/flags display!
Math has been running very smoothly! We have been working on fractions lately and the students are doing very well! We will be learning how to add and subtract fractions next week! We will have a test on Thursday next week. The test is on comparing fractions, ordering fractions, finding equivalent fractions, and finding a fraction of a number.
We have been talking about William Penn and finding PA. Next week, we will be researching Philadelphia!
Here are some pictures from the week!!!
