Hello,
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! This is our first full week back in third quarter and it is a BUSY week!
Spelling: No tests this week. We're still working with our words that were introduced last week.
Writing: We're learning the differences between singular and plural nouns and how to spell them correctly. We did a good job of punctuating dialogue, and we will continue working on quotation marks and commas.
Reading: We are sequencing fiction and non-fiction pieces. We are also working with a new way to communicate in guided reading...EdModo! Edmodo is an online site that allows the students to reply to each other about their reading. I also post assignments on this site. The system is not perfected yet, so thank you in advance for your patience as I'm trying to get it all organized with every reading group.
Math: We are testing over chapter 11 this week (Tuesday). I'm sorry for not attaching the multiplication sheet to last week's email. I will do that today. We are then moving on to studying geometry (ch. 19). It is vital that students study the vocabulary in this chapter! I will be sending out helpful resources for this chapter. Keep studying multiplication facts every night!!
Science: We are beginning the study of matter. This week we will talk about physical properties of matter, volume, mass, and density.
Social Studies: We began our study of economics! I will be discussing our Economic Fun Day project this week and will post details on the blog and on email,once I have introduced it to students. When discussing spending and saving in your home, please include your child. This will help them connect what they are learning in the class with real life situations in your home!
Important Dates:
Tuesday: Culver's Night 5-9pm at South County Culvers (benefitting Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)
Wednesday: Early Release
Thursday: Field trip to Weldon Springs! Bring a snack to take with us and a sack lunch to eat in the classroom when we arrive back at school at 1pm.
Grade level Spelling Bee
Friday: PRISM forms due
