Mini Lesson: Today I want you to spent time building stamina as
partners. I want you to work and read with your partner to read to your partner
and stop after one page then ask your partner to check for understanding. You
can do this by asking them to Tell you what they heard.
This will do two things it
will help you learn to ask questions, check for understanding and help lock the
sequence of this chapter in your head.
Guided Practice: I am going to have two partners model this for us so we
can see how to do it correctly.
Independent Practice: Read chapter 2 of food chain frenzy with a partner

Mini Lesson: So we have been working very hard on learning to
label and convert fractions to decimals, addding and subtracting decimals and
understanding how to represent whole numbers with decimals in writing, and
pictures. So now we are going to learn how to identify and complete the
operations of estimate and exact.
Guided practice:
Some times we need estimates
of decimals and sometimes we need exact answers and we need to be able to
determine the difference.

differences

Reading Workshop
Mini Lesson:
“Readers, looking at our books with the lens of power leads to
all sorts of new thinking. When we investigate who has power, what form
power takes (how you see it), and how power changes, that helps us find huge
meanings in books.”
Guided Practice: Today we will
create an anchor chart to make our #2 ( Look at the title of the passage 2
sentences to support, explain why they gave the passage that title and #10 Summarize the passage in 4-6 sentences
answers stronger. Read How ali BaBa Got his name pg 44. If we chart the
characters who the power we begin to understand the authors purpose and we can
better summarize. What do you notice is
happening who has the power. Go back re read the title . Let’s make a
prediction about this title. And lets create a topic sentence for our summary
based on the exchange of power.
Independent Practice: Now I want you to apply this skill to your passage
response. Go back and think about the power in the story. Revise or begin
writing your answers.

Writing Workshop
Mini
Lesson: Today we are going to add a big
piece to our reading knowledge and our
writing skills. We are going to learn
how to find and use metaphors and more specifically
similies. So first we will
define them on an Anchor chart and then we will listen for them.
Metaphor and simile are quite different, but
are commonly confused simply because they are so very similar in nature.
This
chapter is aimed at clearing up at least some of the confusion, if not the entire
sum of the confusion!
As you read on, you'll learn why these two are so
similar, and how to clearly separate the two. First, have a look at the
following
two examples.
A good book is like a good meal. A simile suggesting that a book may be as ( mentally) nourishing and
satisfying as a meal.
A wire is a road for electrons. A metaphor suggesting that electrons actually
do use a wire as a road to travel on.
If I had said above that "a book is
food for thought" rather than "a good book is like a
good meal", I would not simply be comparing food and literature,
but actually stating that from some perspective they are identical. If
I am an avid reader, who hungers for information to digest,
gleaning every detail to feed my insatiable appetite
for brain candy, literature is not only similar to food
for me - it is food.
|
|
A simile - or to be like something - is
to retain some irresolvable difference which means one can never fully
substitute for the other. On the other hand, a metaphor actually is a
substitution - it is an equation in principle.

Science
Mini Lesson: As
science writers we need to not only write in detail but we need to include
other elements to help our readers understand what is going on
considering
cause and effect, comparing and contrasting, evaluating,
drawing inferences.
Guided Practice: Let’s look at our
picture and try to find a cause and effect we could write about. Let’s try to
find a compare and contrast as well

Mini Lesson: Last week was exciting we learned about whole numbers
with decimals and we began to understand how to write numbers into the
decimals. So let’s reveiw that skill again and try to strengthen our strategies
and understanding by making a relationship between fraction and decimals.
Guided practice: So I want you to look at this question and see if
you can find a strategy to figure it out and label it.
Independent Practice: Mac Market. Today I want you to take out your math
notebook and you are going to select 10 items from Mac Market and convert them

Reading Workshop
Mini Lesson: “When we read novels, and specifically when we study
texts really closely, we are looking at (I held up a giant question mark) ...We
are looking at ...something.And here is the thing.No one can tell you, as a
reader, what to look at, what to notice, what to think.One reader and another
will tend to notice similar things about what is happening in the story—about
the plot. but each reader brings his or her own meaning to the story, and to do
that, we let different parts reverberate in our lives. Each one of us is the
author of our own reading.”
Guided Practice: Let’s create an anchor chart today that will help us
remember that when we are doing a passage response we need to understand the
you need to take from the text what you need and we all have different answers. Part to whole

Mini Lesson:” Today I want you to go back and look at every
adjective you used in
your writing and ask yourself, Is this the most
powerful adjective is the another
adjective that is a synonym that may mean
the same and give more power to my writing”
Guided Practice: Let’s look at a passage and see if we can find an
adjective that we
may want to change. ( MY life Alfredo Balthazar
Independent Practice: Go back and re read your piece and find and
edit or revise
adjectives. If you are having trouble then have a friend read
your work and
decide where to add more powerful adjectives.

Science
Mini Lesson: We
are science and information writers so we need to stop and develop our
observational skills writing. So we are going to practice this skill today.
One kind
of writing is observational writing—they will record in extreme detail all
that they observed while studying a primary
document or drawing from the time period.
Guided Practice: We are going to get 3 minutes to write in extreme detail what
we see.
