Here is what's happenings this week:
Writing: This week the students will choose a realistic fiction story idea. They will then develop their character by thinking about internal and external traits. We will also plan the scenes in their story.
Word Study: We will spend a couple more days building relationships and practicing classroom expectations. They will get their spelling groups this week.
Social Studies: We will continue working on reading maps. We will learn about latitude and longitude. We will also review the continents and oceans. On Friday, we will make a salt map of Missouri. A flyer with all of the information you need was sent home today.
Math: We will wrap up our first chapter this week. Before the test, we will learn how to order numbers and how to round. The chapter 1 test will be this Friday. The students will get their study guide a few days prior to the test. We will go over the study guide and review for the test in class.
Reading: We have begun our first reading unit. In this unit, the students will focus primarily on interpreting characters. We will discuss character traits, look for character change, and find the theme of the story. Please make sure your child is reading at home each night. They will use their independent books to practice a lot of these new skills.
