What We Are Learning in Room 152

Reading This week we are taking our unit 1 test from our Reading
Wonders. The skills and strategies covered include: synonyms, context
clues, multi-meaning words, sequencing, cause and effect, metaphors, and
main idea and key details. **Worksheets are available on my website for
extra practice. The website is mksmith123.weebly.com

Math- This week we learned mental math for addition and subtraction. We
also hit on bar models. With more practice in class, our bar modeling will
come naturally.

Writing We wrote about why parks are important. The students wrote to
inform their readers.
