In Writing, students worked on narrowing their favorite memory. They identified a specific moment from their memory they will write about.

In Reading, we identified the genre of Kate Shelley and the Midnight Express as literary non-fiction since the author wrote a true story based from research. Students asked and answered questions to understand the setting of the story.

In Math, students compared fractions with like numerators.

In Science, students conducted an experiment using a plastic spoon and a metal spoon. The spoons were placed in a cup of hot water. Both spoons had a chocolate chip taped to it. Students recorded observations to see which chocolate chip melted more. Students concluded that the metal spoon was a conductor of heat since the chocolate chip on that spoon melted more.
