Hi everyone,
It seems like ages since we've been here at school, what with the weather being nasty and cold. I hope all of you are staying warm and working hard. Here are the things we will be working on this week.
Reading: We are continuing our Chocolate Touch Theme. Later this week we will be writing to different chocolate companies to see if they would send us any freebies! Free is good! The students are also noticing the difference in certain types of chocolate. We are working on Inferring with the information that we know. This is helping us to make an educated guess.
Math: Fractions are the name of the game this week. We are working on reducing fractions as well as finding missing numerators and denomanators to make our fractions equivalent. We will hopefully be playing a fraction math game later this week to help us better understand comparing fractions.
Writing: Our writing menus are out and the students are going to start working on those. We are also working on our in class Young Author's Books. This is a project that we will do in school. The Writing Menus will be done in class as well.
Writing Menus are due: March 23
Spelling this week focuses on changing singluar words to plural form by adding an --ves, --ies, or --es
The words for this week are: leaf, leaves, wolf, wolves, potato, potatoes, roof, roofs, family, families, library, libraries, journey, journeys, hero, heroes, ditch, ditches.
Please Remember that all assignments are due the next day. If assignments are failed to be turned in, then it is the student's responsibility to make it up and turn it in to me.
