Weekly Happenings 2.27-3.3

Hello! I hope everyone had a great weekend! I can't wait for another great week!

Here is what's happenings this week:

Writing: The students need to finish their informational pieces by this Friday, March 3. They will use this week to revise, edit, and publish. To celebrate this piece, we will have an Expert Fair! At the fair, the students will present a poster highlighting the most important information from their books. Parents and relatives are invited to our Expert Fair. The Expert Fair will be March 9, from 9:00-9:00. You can come anytime between 9:00-9:30 and stay for as long as you want!

Reading: The students are still part of book clubs! We will focus on how to record notes that can spark a discussion! They are encouraged to stop and jot as they read. The goal is to use their notes to keep their book club conversations alive! Please encourage your child to read their book club book at home. It is their responsibility to keep up with their reading! 

Word Study: We will be working on different grammar concepts for the next few weeks!

Social Studies: We just wrapped up our Oregon Trail game! All the wagons made it to Oregon safely! The groups did a great job working together to make tough decisions! We will have a test over the pioneer chapter this Thursday. We will complete the study guides tomorrow. LEAP students received theirs today.

Math: We are working on converting different types of customary measurement. This week we will work on converting units of weight and time. Their test will be next Thursday. Please continue to work on multiplication facts with your child. They play an important role when trying to convert.
