And for this week's recap:

 

Math

In math this week we worked with measurement and capacity. We learned that 2 cups=1 pint, 2 pints= 1 quart and 4 cups= 1 quart, 2 quarts= 1 gallon and 16 cups= 1 gallon. In measurement we learned that 30 centimeters= 1 foot and 12 inches= 1 foot, 3 feet= 1 yard. On Thursday we started to talk about weight. We learned the abbreviations for all types of weight like oz, lb, and T. These stand for ounces, pounds, and tons. On Monday we measured to the nearest half and the nearest fourth of an inch.

Writing

In writing we had a test on persuasive writing. On Monday we gathered all our information for the test which was on the soda ban in New York. We read an article and watched a video. The next day we wrote and wrote and wrote. I wish our articles actually went to the mayor of New York. Otherwise we have not been doing much in writing. We did cursive of course. We learned capital B,P,R,F, and T

Reading

In reading we have been doing our normal daily five choices: read to self, read to partner, word work, and work on writing. Mrs. Baxter has been reading with students a lot, but not all people have been getting a passage called “Navajo Code Talkers.” In our read aloud book The Sisters Grimm 2 . Right now they started to go to school and two of the teachers are everafters. Daphne has a awesome teacher but Sabrina has a mean one. When they get home Puck finds out that there is something called TV but when they go back outside they see a bunch of red hands all over the outside of the house. They are scarlet hands.
