Reminders:
If you haven't already, please sign and return progress reports.
Friday at 2:00 will be our Friendship parties.
Wednesday is a half day.
This week in Reading, we will continue reading our Mr. Tucket book. The students are really enjoying this story about a boy traveling west in the 1800's. They are able to make connections to the information we've previously discussed in social studies. We are also doing vocabulary and comprehension questions after reading each day.
In writing this week, we will get deeper into opinion writing. We will do a few examples together before we begin our next paper. The next big writing assignment will be an opinion movie review. The students will watch different movies (depending on which of the 3 they selected) and will be taking notes as they watch. They will then write an opinion paper in class, supporting their opinion with evidence/facts.
In math this week, we are slowly moving into working with fractions. We will use a lot of visuals and hands-on manipulatives to get them familiar with this concept.
In science, we will finish up the Adaptations unit with a test on Tuesday. Students will be able to use their packets so they've been encouraged to correct any incorrect answers. We will begin Social Studies on Wednesday. Our unit will cover the process of Missouri becoming a state.
Spelling this week will focus on the prefixes "dis," "im," and "in." We will study the different word parts and discuss how this can help you to understand and spell unknown words.
Have a wonderful week!
