What we've been up to:
"Let's party!" we all exclaimed on Friday at our essay publishing party. It was a brief, but busy day as we shared our final copies of our essays. In case you forgot, an essay is when you persuade someone to agree with your opinion. You need to have a thesis statement and 3 distinct reasons along with mini stories and parallel lists. We will be bringing our essays home to share with families next week. At our publishing party, we kicked it off with a fun dance party with the "minions." See video below! Then, we introduced our writing partners and read our essays aloud. Check out the photos below, too.
In math this week, we learned how to multiply fractions and whole numbers, how to decompose fractions by breaking them into smaller fractions, and how to add/subtract mixed numbers. We are having a fraction quiz on Friday, February 7th. Check out the pink study guide! In social studies, we started the Southwest and it only has four states! We learned about the Painted Desert, which looks like it's painted but it's really made by nature. We also read about the Grand Canyon! See our previous post about the Haffenreffer Museum's visit on Monday! It was a busy week!
