May is upon us already and we are trying to fit in all the learning we can. The students will be working on a variety of new units in the coming months. In Science we are working on our Plant Unit and will begin our Soil Unit at the end of May. In Reader’s Workshop we are learning about transforming and how that can help us be a better reader. When we transform we look at the big idea and message in the book. We are also noticing how our thinking may change as we read a story. The students and I are enjoying exploring this comprehension strategy. It is really interesting to see how they think about a story and what message it gives them. Our multiplication and Division unit will be wrapping up next week. We will be having a unit test on May 10th and 11th. The next unit we will move onto is fractions! In Health we will be starting our Harmful Substances unit and learn how we can make good choices to keep our bodies healthy.
