Week in Review
In reading this week, we dove deeper into identifying the main idea of a fictional text. To begin, I brought in several items in a mystery bag and asked the students to identify the main idea of my items. (Bear with me - these pictures were snagged in the middle of teaching so they are NOT the best!)
In Math, we explored with doubles and doubles plus one. To begin, we talked about how doubles are like looking in a mirror. It's the same number twice! Knowing doubles and our doubles plus ones facts can help make solving problems easier in the future.
Our major focus this week was completing our Opinion pieces. For the past several weeks, we have been working to share our thinking and support our opinions through opinion writing. To complete our unit, we created one published piece and we had a BLAST celebrating the conclusion of this unit.
We worked in pairs to help identify "brain burps" in our writing. We know that authors don't write books totally alone! They need other people to help them notice things that they didn't see before.
By the end of the day, this poster was filled with compliments about our writing from our buddies and from one another.

To begin, I brought in several items in a mystery bag and asked the students to identify the main idea of my items. (Bear with me - these pictures were snagged in the middle of teaching so they are NOT the best!)
With these items, the students helped me identify the main idea as Trick-Or-Treating. Throughout the week, we explained our understanding of main idea using various strategies.
We read the story below and worked to support our main idea with details.
We also learned that the details in a text support the main idea like a table.
The kiddos made their own main idea tables after reading this story:
We had SO much fun opening up this month's Scholastic order. :) Thanks to everyone who made our book box so exciting this month!

To end our week...we had a DONUT You Like Our Writing? Publishing Party!
Our Fourth Grade Buddies came to celebrate our writing with us...sparkling grape juice and donuts were a MUST.
Thanks for another great week!
