Miss Jackson’s Class Weekly News

What We Learned
This Week…
Math – This week we reviewed how to add and subtract
fractions and mixed numbers and how to solve real-world
problems. After taking the unit test, we began our next
unit on multiplying and dividing fractions.
Reading – We finished up our mystery unit by creating
Wanted posters for a character in our book club books that
included clues and motives. Then we began our nonfiction
unit by looking at nonfiction text features in books.
Writing – This week we edited and revised our persuasive
essays using a checklist. We also learned how to cite our
sources. Then we continued publishing our essays and will
share them with the class next week.
