Weekly Happenings 9/12-9/16

Hello! I hope you all had a great weekend! I can't wait to hear about all the fun things the kiddos did this weekend!

Writing: The students will continue working on their realistic fiction stories! The students will focus on adding setting to our stories. We will also work on revising our endings to show character change.

Reading: We are continuing to grow ideas about the characters in our stories. We will work on using precise adjectives to describe our characters. We will also look for complications in our characters!

Spelling: The students were given their spelling words last week. They have a set that has been cut up to use and sort in class. They also have a whole list which they can keep at home to study. Their tests will be next Thursday.

Science: We will continue learning about ecosystems this week! We will learn about how food chains are linked together to form food webs. We will also attend our field trip, where the kids will get to interact with a pond ecosystem!

Math: The students did great on their math tests! This week the students will review addition and subtraction with regrouping. Our test is scheduled for Tuesday, September 20. The LEAP students can take the test Monday or Wednesday.
