We had a wonderful week...it was probably because we missed school so much during the Thanksgiving break!
I hope next week is equally productive!
Spelling: blue group is testing Thursday and green group is testing Friday
Social Studies: We are studying the three branches of government: Legislative, Judicial, and Executive. We are also learning how bills become laws. Finally, we will be identifying and discussing the importance of national symbols and monuments. If you have any pictures of these, please bring them in! We have a government bulletin board in the class.
Math: We are reviewing the concepts of multiplication: arrays, listing combinations, groups of, intersecting lines and testing over our strategies on Tuesday. We will then focus on learning our multiplication facts. If you are not encouraging your child to practice these facts every nights, please do so now! This is an important skill to have memorized.
Science: We are studying the planets in our solar system. Students will take a quiz on Friday. They are also working on a planet powerpoint. They will be required to research two planets and write comparison paragraphs about them. After they create a powerpoint, they will present it to the class. I will be posting these presentations as videos on the blog.
Reading: We are studying the various types of poetry.
Writing: Students have done a wonderful job of writing their first narratives. We will continue working on narrative pieces. I am hoping they will become more vivid and clear authors!
Important Dates:
Monday: Music Program! Rehearsal at 2pm at Sappington. Performance at 7pm at High School auditorium
Wednesday: Early Release & Character Club field trip to Friendship Village (please wear green club shirts and Santa hats if you have one!)
