We are back at school and ready for our new year with new units.
In Reading we started our unit on fantasy books. We discussed what fantasy books are and how we need to identify the setting to understand meaning in themes and character. We can use the blurb, the cover, the title and the description of the first chapters to identify this. We also split up into our new reading groups after our testing at the end of December. Great progress everyone!
In Math we also started a new chapter (7) on ratios. We discussed today what a ratio is and how to express them with numbers, models, and written statements. We will be talking about ratios for the next two weeks before we have our mid year test.
In Technology we started our first SCRATCH projects. We are writing a story and will have 2 weeks to work on them. Then we will talk about programming a simple game.
In Band we worked on new chords (E and B7).
