Weekly Happenings:
Writing: We are continuing to work on their informational books. I am encouraging them to work hard to put their research into their own words. I've told them to read a lot of material over their topic before taking notes. This way, they have a better understanding before they take their notes. They are also encouraged to add text features to their books. The students have a book of different text features that will begin going home with them.
Math: We are still plugging away with geometry! The students are doing a great job of keeping up with all of the new terms! Please encourage them to look over their geometry books to remember all of the concepts we have learned.
Reading: We are working on finding the author's purpose. We are also working on figurative language such as similes, metaphors, and idioms.
Social Studies: We started chapter five of our social studies book. This chapter teaches the students about pioneer life and how Missouri became a state.
Important Updates:
