Happy New Year! It is hard to believe that we are back in school and the children are hard at work. The past three days have been busy one's!
5th and 6th Grade MUR:
This week we began our writing program; Rockets, Radar, and Robotics. In one short week the student's learned how to write an outline using three key words and symbols, completed an independent retell to me and composed and typed a summary of their reading. Wow!
In literature we completed our activities of Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol. Students completed a newspaper article interviewing the newly changed Mr.Scrooge and played the Scrooge's Scrapbook game. We have some very clever student's in our class!
3rd and 4th Grade MUR:
This week students began our nonfiction unit. Our first story was about Elizabeth Blackwell the first woman M.D. We talked about the PSCMA technique for nonfiction as well as how nonfiction articles are organized.
Congruently, we worked our finishing up our A Christmas Carol packet. Students completed their drawing of the three ghosts and played the Scrooge's Scrapbook game.
