Weekly Happenings 11/9-11/11

Hello! I hope everyone had a good long weekend! We have a short week of learning this week!

Here's what's happening:

Writing: The students have finished their personal essays! I am blown away by their work! This week we will move on to persuasive essays. They will be developing their thesis statement and supporting reasons.

Reading: The students will work with their research groups on presentations. They will use the information they've researched to create a slideshow presentation. They will present to the class on Friday.

Word Study: Their test is scheduled for Wednesday, November 29. We have many days off/altered schedules coming up, so this is the earliest we could fit in the test.

Social Studies: We've been learning about the Lewis and Clark Expedition! They've learned about all the important contributions that came from their expedition. They will take a social studies test next Wednesday.

Math: We will continue learning about multiplication this week. We will focus on multiplication word problems. Their test is this Friday. Please continue practicing their multiplication facts at home.

Important Dates:
11.9-11.11 - Helping Hands: Paper Products
