Miss Jackson’s Class Weekly News
Central Avenue School
What We Learned
This Week…
Math – This week we reviewed multiples and finding the
least common denominator. We also learned how to add
and subtract unlike fractions as well as how to convert
between improper fractions and mixed numbers.
Reading – We began our mystery unit this week. We
learned about mystery elements, vocabulary, and story
structure. In our notebooks, we also kept track of
characters, important events, and clues in our books.
Writing – This week we began our unit on persuasive essay
writing. We brainstormed topics by thinking about things
we want to change. Then we worked on coming up with
reasons for and reasons against the issues we chose.
Science – After researching different organisms that live in
the various layers of the pond in Library class, we
constructed 3-dimensional models of our chosen organism.
We will be finishing our unit on pond life next week.
