Skylynn was last week's spotlight student. Skylynn has done a great job in putting forth great effort each day! She has done an excellent job in modeling great classroom behaviors! Throughout the week, we learned that Skylynn loves to spend time playing outside during recess. She also enjoys playing outside with her friends at home. Skylynn enjoys coloring too!

This week's Spotlight student is Adrielle. Adrielle continues to follow our classroom and school rules each day. She puts forth her best effort in her school work each day and produces great quality, daily work! Adrielle also uses great manners towards staff and students each day!

Students are off to a great start on mastering fractions! Students have been working to understand how to distinguish the unit fractions when given a shape that is partitioned into different parts. We are working to form fractions that represent both the shaded and unshaded parts of a whole shape.

We have been focusing a lot of our time on our narrative story pieces. Students began with creating a character. They then developed their story by working on a setting in the forest, a problem, and a solution. We are excited to see our final pieces within the next week!

We will be moving onto another expository/informational unit. Students will focus on the essential question: How do animals adapt to challenges in their habitats? Students will read and write about things that help animals survive as well as ways animals are the same and different.

We have been working through our science unit of, Animals Through Time. Students have been learning how animals and their environments have changed through time. We are also beginning to learn about fossils and the information they can tell us about animal characteristics and environments in the past.

This week, we will be working on reviewing unit fractions. Students will also be working to create picture models that involve fractions greater than unit fractions.

Throughout the month, we will focus on Respect. Students will focus on being accepting of all types of peers and following classroom and school rules. We will also be working on being sure to use great manners.
