Here is what's happenings this week:
Writing: The students will finish drafting their essays this week. They will also revise and edit their pieces. Their essays will be due this Friday. They do not need to be completely published. We will begin new essays next week. They will write the next essays with greater independence.
Word Study: We are continuing working on grammar concepts this week. We will focus on conjunctions, independent clauses, and dependent clauses.
Science: We will work to finish the webquest this week. We will also complete a virtual lab which teaches them more about rocks and minerals. The students will also explore the rock cycle with an experiment.
Math: The students will learn how to multiply two, two-digit numbers today! They will also work on solving multiplication word problems this week. Their test will be this Friday, November 3. Please continue working on multiplication facts with your child.
Reading: We will continue our non-fiction unit. The groups will be researching tsunamis, earthquakes, tornadoes, or hurricanes. The students will continue taking notes using text structure. We will focus on finding the main idea and supporting details. For your child's nightly reading, they can continue reading fiction at home or spend some time reading non-fiction. It is up to them!
