Writing
We lost a day of editing this week due to the internet being down, so we will plan to finish up next week. As students finish editing, I will be introducing persuasive writing through a fun, Thanksgiving-themed topic.
Reading
This week, we read the first two chapters of The Hundred Dresses. Next week, we will focus on using QAR and Lucy Calkins strategies while responding to comprehension questions. We will also read chapters 3 and 4.
Language Arts
Wordly Wise: We will begin working on unit 6 this week. 6A & 6B will be due Thursday. The unit 6 test will be on Friday, 11/18.
Words Their Way: We will continue splitting into our small groups for spelling this week. Tic-Tac-Toe activities will be due on Friday, which will also be their quiz day.
Math
Monday will be a work day for students to work on their study guides and ask questions. We will review study guides on Tuesday and take the Unit 2 test on Wednesday. We will complete the first lesson of Unit 3 on Friday, which is an introduction to fractions.
Science
Next week, we will be completing a lab on Tuesday and Wednesday which teaches how to use a variety of measurement tools. We will also go over lesson 5, which covers types of scientific models.
