This week in ELA, most of the students met for some portfolio meetings and reviewed our most recent NWEA scores to set our end of the year goals. We will finish up these meetings next week. We also did our own book reviews on a book of our choice from the classroom library. With these we read and summarized the book and gave it a rating. We also recieved new spelling this this week, which we will finish up next week. We are getting close to finishing up our read aloud, "Holes". Look for a permisson slip to come home early next week, so we can watch the movie before our mid-winter break! :) Standards Covered:W.3.3, W.3.10, RL.3.1-10, RI.3.1-10, RF.3.3-4, RL.4.1-10, RI.4.1-10, RF.4.3-4 In science this week we finished up our overview of severe weather. We then started some research on a storm type of our choice. We are researching where these storms are most likely to take place, how to stay safe, what destruction they can cause, and what to expect from these storms. Standards covered: 3-Ess3-1,4-ESS2-2 -Ms Jamie
