As readers this week we have focused on the author’s message. Is there a message in the stories we are reading? If so, how do we know, what evidence do we have from the text? This is complex work around reading comprehension, laying the basis for inferring from texts (or understanding what is not explicitly stated in texts) - and it is work that we will be continuing next week as well.
Our science and writing were integrated this week. We planned and prepared for our experiments and then independently wrote up a full lab report. These will be shared with you next week. A time lapse of a portion of our lab for your viewing pleasure is included below:
As mathematicians we continued working on adding and subtracting two 2-digit numbers within 100 using various strategies such as base-ten models, number lines, and various other strategies. This work will also continue into the coming week.
