It was nice to have a normal week. No testing, no breaks, no parties. Just school. In reading we continued decoding text features and making inferences. We went onto kidblog with our iPads and read a historical fiction text on the slave trade. It was a very eye-opening read. Altogether this was a great way to practice our comprehension skills and ask thought provoking questions.
In writing we continued to publish our information articles. Our experts are now creating title pages and dedications. It was fascinating to see who was honored with dedications. Likewise, everyone wrote an “About the Author” feature. These were a lot of fun to read.
On the topic of finishing projects, our PBL groups are nearing the end of their construction period. Right now every group is in the final stage of finishing their design. Students are testing their work and making sure they have everything they need to finish the job. Next week we will prepare presentations and reflect on what we learned about working together as a group.
On May 13th we are attending Link Up: The Orchestra Rocks at Benaroya hall. We will need volunteers to chaperone and drive.
