Hello! I hope everyone was able to enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend!
Here's what's happening:
Writing: The students have been working on researching and drafting their first two chapters. This week, they will learn to write a historical narrative. They will also write an essay that explains the importance of their focus topic.
Reading: The students will continue researching the causes of the Revolutionary War. They will also begin researching for a class debate. Our class will split into two groups: patriots and the loyalists. Each group will find evidence to support their side of the war.
Please make sure your child is reading 20 minutes each night. This is very important to their reading success.
Word Study: Their tests are scheduled for Wednesday, February 8.
Science: We are continuing to learn about the properties of matter. This week we will focus on how matter can be combined to create mixtures and solutions. We will also explore how density works. Instead of a test, the students will work in different stations that assess their knowledge.
Math: I am very impressed with the students' test scores! They worked so hard to understand fractions! This chapter the students will learn how to add and subtract fractions with like denominators. They will also learn how to multiply mixed numbers. There test will be next Friday. Please continue to practice multiplication facts with your child at home!
