Hi there,
I hope ya'll had a great weekend and rested up for some more exciting learning.
This week will be somewhat of a recap from last week. Here's what we're doing:
Reading: We will continue working with Bud, Not Buddy in our Teacher Directed Reading. The kids seem to love the little antics that the character "Bud" gets into. We are also tying in The Great Depression for social studies; learning about what kids would do during that time period and how things have changed since then.
We will also be starting some EOG prep reading on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We will be working on stratigies for finding information in the reading.
Math: We will work on Changing improper fractions to mixed numbers and then continue with Adding, Subtracting and Reducing fractions. We will continue to take notes and practice problems. Please encourage your child to take good notes to review at home.
Science/Writing: We are working on Report Writing for our content piece. I am modeling how to write for the next couple of days. The students will start their piece by choosing their own particiluar animal. This will lead us into our Animal unit for science. Again, note taking is going to be the key to their learning.
Spelling List for this week: cinder, circle, cardinal, cereal, cycle, concert, dancer, celebrate, twice, dangerous, strange, ledge, damage, geography, gentle, signal, regular, sugar.
**Progress Reports were sent out last Thursday and some students have not turned in assignments. Please review over what your child has not turned in. It is their responsibility to get their work to me.
