Wilson's Weekly
Oct. 30 - Nov. 3, 2017
Math
Monday, we will begin a new unit - Multiplication & Division. We will start off by learning that to multiply you must have equal groups. We will also see how multiplication is related to repeated addition. Tuesday, the students will participate in a Math-O-Lantern activity where they'll make estimates & actual measurements for the weight, circumference, and number of seeds found in our pumpkin. Wednesday, we will create arrays to match with our multiplication number sentences. Thursday, the students will see how factors can represent either the number of groups or the size of a group. Friday, we'll discover how multiplication and division are related.
Reading
We've read the book Zoom Broom. Wednesday, we'll learn how to color code where we found the answers to our questions. Thursday, we will learn key words that help us find synonyms for unfamiliar words within the same sentence.
Writing & Spelling
Wednesday, the students will be introduced to different types of endings. They will try their hand at a few ideas for their final sentence. Thursday, they'll write the ending to their rough draft.
During Spelling this week, we will focus on long i patterns (i & igh), antonyms, idioms, and subject pronouns.
Social Studies
Monday & Tuesday, our final two groups will share their posters with the class and explain the important information that they learned about their region of Missouri.
Science
On Wednesday, we'll begin a new Project Lead The Way Unit - Variation of Traits. The students will be distinguishing between inherited and learned traits. Thursday, we'll discuss the difference between dominant & recessive traits.
