Salmon Week 24 Update
February 29-March 5th
Overview:
Reading - Students are working hard on their "owl" novels. Here is the goal for the week regarding chapters to be read:
There is an Owl in the Shower: Chapters 11-15
Owls in the Family: Chapter 9-11(finish the novel)
Hoot: 13-17
Along with the reading the students are completing 3 vocabulary activities each day (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday), and answering questions based on the chapters.
These are great novels and in addition we are researching Birds of Prey to write a paper. Our Walk to Read classes that come to Mrs Salmon are also learning how to make a PowerPoint presentation.
Writing - Students are researching and writing about a specific Bird of Prey. After break we will be writing a persuasive piece on saving their Bird of Prey or why it is so important to protect their Bird of Prey.
Social Studies - We are continuing to learning about America's Heartland (AKA - the Midwest). We have learned that it flat flat flat, but that makes for great farming.
Science - Our unit of study on Simple Machines will be finishing up next week with a test on Thursday or Friday. A study guide will be going home Monday. Please keep and eye out for it.
Jack, We Will Miss You!!! aka - giggles!
Progress Reports
Progress Reports went home on Thursday last week. I'm sorry I forgot to put a return with signature on the bottom. Please let me know if you have any questions.
I have touched based with parents if I have specific concerns regarding their child's academics if necessary. Due to Spring Conferences not being placed on the calendar this year I'm always available before or after school, if you would like to touch base. If your schedule does not allow for this time we can always talk on the phone if you ever have concerns or questions.
