The team is coming together! Testing is now complete, and we have established our routines. Both homerooms continued to review the different Zones of Regulation through games and activities. The 3/4/5 students began their ELA rotations, following whole-group instruction in spelling, grammar, and writing. During this time, they are broken up into small groups to work on reading, fluency, word work, typing, spelling practice, and narrative writing. These groupings are fluid and will be rotated throughout the year to meet the students’ needs..
For Math, the third graders are moving on in our multiplication unit, from interpreting and representing data on a scaled graph to multiplication expressed in equal groups, drawings, and expressions. The fourth grade is using physical objects, tape diagrams, and number lines to determine the relative size of fractions. At the same time, the fifth-grade students have started a new Unit with a focus on Multiplying Fractions.
During our Science/Social Studies block, the 3rd and 4th grades practiced introductory map skills and investigated and discussed New Hampshire’s geographical location in the world. At the same time, the fifth grade studies the earth’s biomes and food webs with fun discussions and experiments.
Our fourth and fifth-graders enjoyed presenting a poem at the community lunch!
