Monday: Track and Field Day
Tuesday: Picture Day
Math: On Monday, we will have a multiplication quiz on multi-digit whole numbers. The kids brought some awesome examples of how you use multiplication in real-life; thanks for your help with these real-life examples! We will continue to solve some multiplication story problems on Monday as well.
Next, we will work with adding and subtracting decimals by relating these skills to real life applications with money.
Word Study: This week we will begin Lesson 3: VCe (vowel, consonant, silent e) syllables. Like all syllables, these have one vowel sound. The vowel sound in these syllables is the long sound, instead of the short vowel sound that is in closed syllables. Single-syllable examples: bake, like, rode, mule. We will start with one-syllable words and move on to two and three-syllable words.
Language Arts: This week we will read one of the stories from our Harcourt reading anthologies: Sees Behind Trees. We will take the comprehension test on this story on Friday. We will be making connections between the theme/underlying message of this story to another book "The Lotus Seed".
With the CogAT test this past week, we did not make time for the Time for Kids magazine, so we will do that early this coming week. We did start learning a bit about Syria last week, and will continue to grow our background knowledge of the country this coming week.
Students' first writers' workshop pieces will be due on Friday. Kids will have time to finish their rough drafts, revise and edit this week. The kids are at different stages of the writing process, so some students may need to work on their writing piece at home this week.
Social Studies: On Monday, we will review for the Exploration Test, that we will have on Tuesday. Kids brought their social studies books and notebooks home to study over the weekend. The test will cover the essential questions:
What caused European exploration in the 1400s and 1500s?
What new technology helped explorers during the 1400s and 1500s?
What were the effects of European exploration on Natives?
How did European exploration help Europe to become powerful?
Science: We will begin our first science unit "Weather" next week. We will start with a review of the scientific method and a study of the basic cloud types and what they indicate about the weather.
