This week we will be finishing up our Science unit with a test on Wednesday! The students have a packet that they can use during a portion of the test. Double checking answers and studying with this will help them prepare for it. We will move to a new Social Studies unit next week.
In math this week we will continue working on multiplication and division and discussing the relationship between these two functions. We are also studying properties and rules for both which can help us solve problems with unknowns. The math test will be next Monday. Reviewing vocabulary and class activities in their binders will help them be prepared.
In spelling this week we are working on the "ie" or "ei" rule. This may take more studying as this is somewhat confusing for a lot of students. The test will be on Friday. In this test we will also add a portion where we read them sentences and they must copy it down using correct spelling, capitalization, and punctuation.
In writing this week we are continuing to form stories by focusing on the elements of plot. Each day we focus on a new element (Exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution). Teams are working together to create Halloween stories that we will edit and share on Monday. We are also continuing to review the parts of speech.
In reading this week we will finish up The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. With this story, we work on inferencing; using the explicit information from the text to fill in the blanks. On Friday, we will watch Bunnicula and Sleepy Hollow to compare the book to the movies.
Friday we will also be presenting the cereal box book projects! We have a lot of fun things planned for Friday, the students have been warned that if they don't have their book projects done, they won't participate in our fun afternoon. We will watch the movies from reading, have our ice cream sundaes from our multiplication facts tests, and have our pop/candy for AR points. Please help them remember to bring their projects on Friday so no one has to miss out on the fun!
Have a great week!
