Welcome to the first full week of December! This month (and the rest of this quarter!) will fly by. So hang on tight!
This week in writing, we will finish up rough drafts on our fact-based opinion piece. We will then work on revising and editing our drafts.
In reading, we will begin reading The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. This is a fun Christmas-themed book that teaches many valuable life lessons. We will use the book to address many of the reading concepts that we have already addressed, as well as add in the newer concepts of theme and summarizing.
Math this week will look a bit different. As a grade level we are going to try implementing a Guided Math set up. This involves us working with small groups, allowing independent work time, reinforcing the new skills as well as concepts that we have already covered with games and activities. This week, we will work with students learning the new concept as a whole group and then break into small groups to work on the reinforcement. The new concept that we will work with next week is order of operations.
Science will continue this week with continue our unit on ecosystems looking at habitats and adaptations.
Please continue to make sure your child is working on their independent reading and working towards their AR goal and on their quarterly book project. Some are turning out really nicely!
