This week in Math we continued learning division strategies. We learned how to divide a number into equal groups and use repeated subtraction to find the quotient. In Reading we focused on reading informational texts and articles to learn more about the characteristics of informational non-fiction. In Writing we continued our informational unit. We organized our ideas into the chapters we chose for our book. We also began writing one of our chapters. In Social Studies we finished up researching our Australian animals. We took all of our notes and organized them into sections about our animals, which included, description, habitat, diet, and other fun facts. Miss Hunter visited our class again this week and read us another chapter of "Pumsy". We reviewed "clear minds" and "mud minds" and learned all about "I messages". "I messages" tell someone how you are feeling in a certain situation. Today we got to watch the 4th grade choir and 5th grade band perform their concert. It was a lot of fun!
