Weekly Happenings 9/19-9/23

Hello! I hope you all had a great weekend!

Writing: The students should be finished with their drafts early this week. The students will focus on revising and editing their piece this week! Their pieces should be finished by next Wednesday.

Reading: The students will begin writing about how and why their character has changed. They will look for specific evidence in the text to support their ideas. We will also look how the character change helps determine the theme. Please make sure your child is completing their reading log each night.

Spelling: The students will have their first spelling test this Thursday. You can find their words in their expanding file.

Science: To wrap up our ecosystem unit, the students will be creating a virtual ecosystem. They will be using Minecraft to create a ecosystem. They will place appropriate plants and animals in their ecosystem. They will also create a food web with their ecosystem. This project will take the place of a final test.
