Hello! I hope everyone had a great weekend! I am excited for another week of learning!
Here is what's happening this week:
Writing: The students realistic fiction drafts are turning out great! They are all working so hard. This week we will continue drafting and begin the revision process.
Reading: We are continuing to deepen our understanding of characters. We have been focusing on why characters may act 'out of character'. The students have been doing a great job analyzing their characters!
Science: We will begin wrapping up chapter 4 this week. Instead of a test, the students will be working on a final project. They will have class time to complete this project. However, if they do not finish in class they may need to take it home over the weekend. The final project assesses their knowledge of food chains and ecosystems.
Math: This week we will finish chapter 2, which covers addition and subtraction. In particular, we will work on subtracting across zeros and solving word problems. Their test will be this Friday.
Word Study: The students received their first set of spelling words today. Their test is tentatively scheduled in two weeks. They will most likely test Monday the 29th or Tuesday the 30th. I will let them know as it gets closer to their test date. They have a copy of their words that remains in their binders.
Important Reminders:
*Early Release - 9/17
*Math Test - 9/19
