A Full Week
The last full week before Thanksgiving. I enjoy the holiday season immensely, but it can make for a hectic schedule trying to get things finished before a break. Here is a look at our week ahead.
We start Math off this week preparing for a test. We will test in Tuesday. This test focuses on multiplying two-digit by one-digit numbers. After that, we will begin multiplying greater numbers, and looking at mathematical functions. Not too bad this week. Make sure to continue studying those facts!
In Science, we start Monday with a test. On Tuesday, students will begin studying electricity and magnetism, starting with static electricity. By Friday, students will be investigating how to make a light bulb! This should be fun!
Spelling will focus on long a words, words tat have more than one meaning (hot, play, etc.), and compound words. We will test on Friday.
In Reading, we will finish up What Was the First Thanksgiving? By Thursday, we will read another short text, and compare and contrast the two, and the way that each text provides information. Students will then create a timeline of events from the book. Literature Circles will continue as scheduled.
Students will finish up their expository writing, or "How-To" papers early this week. We will begin presentations on Wednesday. A note will be sent home today giving you the date of your child's presentation. Please help them remember to bring their supplies on that day to help the schedule run smoothly. Thank you in advance for your help with this writing project. Students really seem to enjoy doing these.
We have RTI this week. Our concept that we will be looking at more closely is sequencing. we will practice some basic concepts, and then apply them to some short picture books.
