Here is what's happening this week:
Writing: This week the students will finish revising their stories and begin editing. They will be using 'lenses' as they revise and edit. They will use a different lens as they read their story focusing on different writing techniques.
Reading: This week we will learn about how to form debatable ideas from our texts. We will also work on finding evidence from the text to support our ideas. When your child is reading at home, ask them what kind of debatable ideas they can gather from the text.
Word Study: The students will continue to practice the patterns and spelling of their words this week. Their tests are still scheduled for Tuesday, September 22 and Thursday, September 24. Red Group (sort 29) Green (sort 1-vowel patterns) and Blue Group (sort 25) will go Tuesday. Pink group (sort 1) will go Thursday.
Science: This week they will also be starting their final project for chapter 3 and 4. Instead of a test, they will be doing a final project. Their final project will be to chose an ecosystem to represent. They will be asked to include plants and animals that would be found in that ecosystem, create a food chain, and explain what adaptations an animal in that ecosystem has. This will be done in class.
