November 2-6

Go Royals!!!!!

This week in reading we will begin working with non-fiction text. We will introduce our new book project for November. This project will be done over a non-fiction book. Your child will come home today (Monday) with the information for this. Book selection and approval is due this Friday.

In writing this week, we will begin working on writing expositions. We will learn transition words and different organizational patterns for creating this type of text. In November, the students will be writing "How to" papers and presenting/demonstrating their final papers. To be successful with this, we will first go over organizing this type of text before we begin drafting.

In Social Studies this week we will begin studying the first people of Missouri. This will tie into our Thanksgiving discussions as well as non-fiction texts. We will compare primary and secondary resources throughout this unit when looking at information presented in multiple ways.

In spelling this week we will start with a new list on Monday. The spelling test will be Friday. This word list focuses heavily on root words and the suffix -ible and -able.

In math girls week we will finish up our multiplication unit with a test on Monday. We will continue building on these skills throughout the week.

Have a great week!
