In our PYP Where We Are in Time and Place: Location,Location,Location for Reading we continued to learn about absolute and relative location.We learned find places using cardinal and immediate directions! We practiced finding locations on maps of Michigan using latitude and longitude. We played battleship again to help us practice our latitude and longitude skills. We then talked about how our location can affect the way we live.
In Writing we continued working on Personal Narratives. We focused on turning points in our life. Turning points are moments that suddenly changed
(a bad day becomes a great one) or first or last moments. These also make great stories! Then we focused on adding sensory details to our stories. We practiced using descriptive language focusing on our senses. This helped our stories come alive and be more interesting to the reader.
In Math we reviewed 3 digit addition and subtraction. We also reviewed rounding and place value. We took our test on this unit. Next unit we will be learning about solving word problems using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division!
