Hello! I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Here is what's happenings this week:

Writing: This week, the students will start the next unit by setting writing goals. They will also learn different strategies for generating essay ideas.

Word Study: The students will use their words to complete different spelling activities. Their tests will be October 18.

Science: We will finish creating their animals this week. They will also explain how their animal's adaptations help them survive in the ecosystem they chose. Once we finish animal adaptations, we will look at how plants have adaptations to help them survive and reproduce.

Math: We've started chapter 4 today. This chapter dives deeper into multiplication. They will learn how to estimate products. They will also learn how to multiply a one-digit number by a larger number. Please continue to work on their multiplication facts!

Reading: We also started a new reading unit! This week we will look at the different types of non-fiction texts. We will talk about the importance of reading non-fiction carefully, not just flipping through pictures. They will start working on non-fiction texts during guided reading as well.
