Hi there Everyone.
This week has a lot of different things happening with our schedule. We are working hard this week on the writing process to get us prepared for Thursday Writing Test.
Here is what we will be working on:

Reading: Our class is continueing the Lightning Thief. They have started working on their brochures for Camp Half-Blood or Mt. Olympus. I have seen some great creative thinking in the process. I have also noticed that the students are getting into the story and anticipating what is going to happen next.

Math: This week we are wrapping up using graphs, specifically Bar Graphs and Line Graphs. The students will have an assessment on Wednesday. This will lead us into learning about data and how to find the Median, Mode, and Range.

Writing: We are currently working on our Haunted House story. The students are working hard and following my guide that we use in class to construct our story. This guide allows them to see how to form sentences but also to change words and make it their own.
  • Thursday is our Writing Test. Please make sure your child is on time to class with a good breakfast and ready to learn.

The spelling words for this week are: then, else, edge, when, tenth, empty, sketch, easy, eager, sneakers, mean, fifteen, receive, piecem believe, spelling, people, squeeze.
