The highlight of our week was the "summer day" we spent at Riverview Orchard. Students explored in small groups and conducted an apple investigation. This inquiry included describing the traits of an apple, drawing a diagram and graphing the number of seeds. The time went by way too quickly! Back at school we are finishing up our unit on recycling and getting ready to write our first informational piece using 2 different sources. Our focus in reading this week has shifted to comprehension. We are learning to stop as we read and ask ourselves, "Who are the characters in this part? What just happened? Does this fit with something that already happened, or is this new?" In math this week we worked on figuring out multi-step story problems.
Questions to spark conversation:
-What happened on your field trip? Did you make any new discoveries?
-Why do some pumpkins grow to be SO big?
-What do I need to show when solving a story problem?
-What happened during forest Friday?
