Mr. Gray’s Class Podcast

Class Website

Reader’s

Workshop

We are continuing our researching animals unit. We are practicing different ways to research and gather information about a topic. This week we will study how to build up vocabulary and talk with the lingo of experts and how to discuss our topic with zeal for a new animal.

Writer’s

Workshop

The kids will continue our writing about research unit going along with our reading unit. This week the kids will teach others about their animal as a way to get ready to write, discuss table of contents and chapter organization and reread their drafts to add more for a new animal.

Math

What happened to math class?

We start a new unit on telling time intervals (ex. PE started at 10:45 and ended at 11:19, how many minutes was PE). We will start by exploring time on a stopwatch and move on to reviewing time to the minute, then look at problems with time and solving those problems with number lines and t-charts.

Social

Studies

No Social Studies this week.

Science

We will continue our weather unit by studying wind and precipitation. We will look at local data for patterns.

Thank you,

Mr. Gray
