Interim Assessments will be taken this week on Thursday and Friday. These tests are only to inform our instruction and require no student preparation.
Math: The kids had a lot of fun working with the restaurant menus last week and we will finish up working with them early this week. We added prices and had to subtract to determine how much change we would get from the server. Next, we'll have to determine tax and tip by multiplying decimals!
We will work with multiplying decimals by whole numbers and decimals by decimals, while relating these problems to real life situations. We will also review rounding decimals this week. The plan is to test unit 2 on Friday. Optional study sessions will be held Thursday during lunch and/or recess and Friday before school at 8:15. I don't have any free after school times this week!!
Reading/Writing: This week we will focus on comparing and contrasting characters by drawing on specific details in the text...evidence! We will also practice finding the main idea of nonfiction and fiction texts.
In word study this week, we will finish our study of VCe syllables and take a quiz on this pattern on Wednesday. We will begin Open Syllables on Thursday. Open syllables are syllables that don't have a consonant after the vowel. The vowel makes the long vowel sound in open syllables. An example is the word "broken". The syllable "bro" does not have a consonant after the vowel, and the "o" makes the long vowel sound.
Science: This week we'll focus on answering the essential questions: "What are the three main types of clouds and how do they indicate weather?" and "What are the layers of the atmosphere and how do they effect weather?".
Last week we discussed the steps of the scientific method and kids made lists of their own questions about weather. Students had some time to research their questions, and we'll continue to search for answers to our own inquiries as we learn about the essential content of the unit.
