Welcome to Week 2!

By now students are becoming more accustomed to the new routines for their PYP 4 class.  After a week of settling in, the students are ready to focus on their Unit of Inquiry, Language, and Math.

In Unit of Inquiry:

Students have begun defining a community.  Through brainstorming and collaborative efforts, we have discussed that a community is a group of people who come together to help each other.

Language:

The Daily 5 has recently been introduced to students.  Each class is learning the necessary skills to become an independent reader.  This week's task was learning how to "Read to Self."  

Some useful tips:  Finding a good reading spot and not moving from it

                               Focus on reading only

                               Choosing a book that you can understand the words and comprehend

Math:

We have begun comparing numbers by using the Greater Than, >, and less than, <, symbols.  Students have also learned how to make a two-digit number, ex. 24, 53, from a list of several digits.  We have placed them onto a number line in order from smallest to largest.

Homework on Wednesday:
