Hello! I hope everyone had a good holiday season! I can't wait for a full week of learning!
Here's what's happening:
Writing: We are starting an informational writing unit. The students will be researching and writing about the causes of the revolutionary war. They will focus on one cause to elaborate on in their writing. This week the students will spend most of their time planning and researching!
Reading: To help with their writing, the students will be learning how to research and take notes on historical events. This week they will review how to find the text structure. They will also practice taking notes which focus on who, where, and when.
Word Study: Their tests are scheduled for Wednesday, January 18.
Science/Social Studies: We have a Lewis and Clark expert coming to talk to the students during a few days this week. She will teach them many new, exciting facts about the Lewis and Clark Expedition. While she is not here, we will begin the next science unit. This chapter covers the properties of matter.
Math: The students will be working on fractions this week. They will learn to find an equivalent fraction and how to simplify fractions. They will also learn how to compare and order fractions. Their test will be next Friday, January 20. It is very important the students are fluent with their multiplication facts. Please continue working on these at home. Thank you!
