Happy Monday!
Today is the first day that I am not in the classroom. Ms. Correnti is now teaching Team 38! I know the students will have fun learning from her. I will be in the building working with teachers, but I have told the students that I will be working with them frequently. Following this week, Ms. Correnti will be providing weekly updates through email and on the blog. Her email address is lcorrenti@lindberghschools.ws, so please feel free to contact her with any questions or concerns. And of course you can continue contacting me as well.
This is what is happening this week:
Spelling: New words have been given. They will be up on spelling city by this afternoon. Blue- sort 26 within words Yellow- sort 13 within words Green- sort 19 syllables and affixes
Math: We are wrapping up our study of geometry. Last week, the students had a little trouble identifying lines of symmetry, so please be helping them with this at home. They will be taking a test over this chapter on Thursday.
Science: Students are learning about the 3 states of matter: solid, liquid, gas. We will be studying the different types of molecules that make each state and how the shape and density identify each state as well.
Social Studies: We are finishing chapter 9 and will take a test over the material on Friday. Students will be provided a study guide to help them prepare for this test. They have been doing a great job understanding income, saving, spending, opportunity cost, and scarcity. I'm confident they will do well on the test!
Reading: Students are learning how to identify author's purpose in fiction and non-fiction pieces. They will choose between the following purposes: to inform, to entertain, to persuade.
Writing: Students are working on persuasive writing. They will be providing persuading opinions and reasons and details for their topic.
