The students have been working hard on their opinion writing.  This past week the students worked to stretch their opinions and supporting reasons over a booklet. The used linking words and worked to develop concluding statements.  

Students have been working with expanded notation and applying place value to word problems in math. We learned a new game, place value toss, to practice building numbers, writing numbers, and stretching numbers. This week students will solve number riddles and represent numbers in more than one way.

Our reading stamina is back on track and we are reading more and more! The students re-visited the expectations for reading with partners this week and talked about their reading with each other.  Students have been jotting notes as they read and turning those jots into written retells.
