December By: Mikayla

Math in December: December in math we were multiplying fractions also dividing them. We also were multiplying and dividing decimals. December had tricky units/lessons. In the beginning of December we learned how to find the surface area in pyramids. Then we learned how to find the volume.

Reader’s workshop: In readers workshop we got to pick a group. Then we picked a book. With our group we have to decide how many pages we have to complete by a certain day. Then we would have to pick a page out of our reader’s response log. And then the next day we would predict what would happen next in our book. Also we would share our reader’s response log with our group.


Writer’s workshop: In writers workshop we are typing writing prompts. The writing prompts we are writing about are pretty interesting. One is “if I could meet anyone in the world, I would meet…” We are writing 7 final copies then they are going to be put into a book.

Science: In science we learned about matter, volume, weight, and mass. We also learned about what molecules are. Then we learned what water molecules are.
Also we learned about mixtures, compounds, and elements. We had to figure out what you can separate and what you can’t.

Social studies: In social studies we made a map of mohenjo- daro. We had to have certain things like the citadel. We had a partner and you had to tell them what you had on your map and then they would grade you.
