This week in reading we have been working on our tackling non-fiction unit and we are currently studying text structures such as main idea and detail, problem and solution as well as cause and effect. We are learning to dig deeper in our books. At the end of the unit we will be writing our own short books on whatever non-fiction topic we choose.
In writing we have finished up our PSA unit. We have written multiple reflections for writing. We wrote one on PSA’s. We also wrote one on what grade we think we should get, based on our free writes. In that paper we also answered a few questions, naming some goals that we want to make for ourselves. Then based on that paper, she gave us a list of goals, and we chose two and explained why we chose those goals. That is all the paperwork we did, but we did start a new unit. The unit we started is called... (drumroll please)... non-fiction articles!!!! We are studying... (another drumroll please)... WESTWARD EXPANSION! We have studied photographs while using a specific way to take notes. We are using a way where we separate the page in 3 boxes one on the bottom longways and two on the top longways. On the bottom we label it summary, the two tops ones are keywords and details/sketches. We have chosen a topic, (if not yet, soon) on what we want to write an article about. Well it has to be from the time period of westward expansion. We are using books and google slides from Ms.Fought as our source for our topic.
In math people have taken the re-test and we are learning to recognize rule patterns, with fractions.
