We have a crazy week, so check out the Important Dates section!
Here is what's happenings this week:
Writing: The students will begin writing a persuasive essay. Their last essays were over a personal topic. This essay will have a thesis that can be debated. We will focus on creating a thesis statement and supporting reasons.
Word Study: We are continuing working on grammar concepts this week. We will focus on clauses and how to punctuate clauses.
Science: We will conduct an experiment that shows how the rock cycle works. We will also review how weathering and erosion change Earth's surface.
Math: We've moved onto a new chapter in math. The students will learn long division in this chapter. They will also learn how to estimate quotients. It is essential that the students know their multiplication facts. Please continue working on these at home (flashcards, QuickTables, use a deck of cards, math applications...).
Reading: We will continue researching in our reading groups. This week, we will work on organizing our notes. They will focus on taking notes that fit under specific subtopics, such as causes, effects, and how to prepare for a natural disaster. We will also focus on synthesizing when taking notes.
