We finally finished Module 4. It felt like the never ending module. I will share how everyone did on their end-of-module assessments at conferences. Module 5 is pretty much more of the same only the addition and subtraction gets harder and the problems are up to 1,000 now instead of 100.
This week we explored the question “What words show the order of events in a story?” As we read the realistic fiction selection Luke Goes to Bat, we found out about a boy who learned an important lesson with the help of his grandmother and the legendary baseball player Jackie Robinson. In the informational text, Jackie Robinson, we will learn more about this special American hero.
