Spotlight on Learning
Week of February 13, 2017
ELA- We continued working on our autobiographies and are almost all ready to publish. We also participated in a District Writing Assessment. This assessment allows us to see how well students can respond to text, either fiction or nonfiction. Students were given two passages to read independently, and were then asked to analyze the text using a writing prompt. We have been practicing these types of writing prompts since the first nine weeks and will continue to practice throughout the remainder of the year. It is amazing how much they are growing as readers and writers!
Math- We continued learning about fractions.
Science- We learned about landforms and water features seen on Earth.
Social Studies- We wrappped up our learning about the causes of the American Revolution. We will have a quiz on this on February 21.
