It's hard to believe today is the first day of 4th quarter!
Progress Reports will go home today, please sign and return as soon as possible.
New AR goals and zones will begin today.
In Reading this week, we will finish up Little House in the Big Woods. We will continue doing activities to help build the skill of summarizing. Summarizing is such an important skill to master for students because it will help them in school and in life from now on. Our hope is that by showing them multiple strategies and guiding them through those, they will eventually master summarizing.
In writing, we will begin discussing our scripts in more depth. We have spent several weeks researching and organizing our ideas, now we will take that research and begin drafting our scripts. We will go over the writing trait of "sentence fluency" as we work on these. We will discuss grabber leads and how to vary sentences so that your writing flows and the reader is engaged.
In spelling this week, we will continue working with list 20 from last week. We decided that since last week we weren't able to work with the list very much, we would push the test to this Friday. This should allow us more time to work on the words and rule.
In math this week, we will continue working on decimals. We will show the relationship of decimals to fractions and work on comparing and ordering those decimals. Our next unit will be a measuring unit.
In SS this week, we will continue studying the Civil War and Missouri's role in it. We will wrap up this unit on Thursday before moving on to our next Science unit.
Have a great week!
