We had an awesome week! Check out what we were learning:
ELA: We dug deeper into our writers' notebooks, using the strategies of brainstorming and mapping to come up with ideas for writing narratives. We also reviewed the importance of choosing descriptive words to make our writing better. We began learning how to use a thesaurus as well.
Math: We continued working with multiplication and division. Students are learning a lot of strategies to help them solve word problems. Ask them how count-by models, tape diagrams, and equations can help solve problems and/or prove answers.
Social Studies: We wrapped up our learning about South Carolina Regions.
Science: We learned more about adaptations in the grasslands for both plants and animals. We will have a test on the grassland habitat on Thursday, October 5.
