English –
We finished up our Winter Break Snapshots this week, and we transitioned right into our new unit of study: Writing About Reading: From Reader's Notebooks to Companion Books. Students have selected a book that they truly enjoy reading and will be working on creating a companion book. The genre of writing we're focusing on is information writing.
Today (Friday), students explored new ways to write about reading with the focus of liking what they write! Too often, students are told what to write and how to write it. Today was all about letting go of worrying about what I want as the teacher and discovering what their imaginations are capable of creating. I hope that students learn that all writing can be creative throughout this unit, not just the stories and poems that they produce.
Good to know: Students set a reading calendar with their partners and established their own page goals. The first check-in date is January 25th.

Math-
We are continuing our work on scale factor, learning target 6. We introduced the Wump Family and have had a good time drawing the characters and finding out who the imposters are. We have about 1 week left with scale factors before we move on to solving equations.

Social Studies –
Students began the week by
reflecting on their learning. Many surprised
themselves by looking back at their initial thoughts about geography in ancient
Greece and seeing how far they’ve come.
We’ve since moved on to vocabulary words (there will be a quick
vocabulary test next Thursday) and the different types of government in ancient
Greece. We ended the week by beginning our
look at Athens and Sparta.
Please ask your students to
share the words they are learning as we explore Greek roots, prefixes, and
suffixes.
