What Are We Working On This Week?
Character Education: In November, we are working on the trait of Responsibility/ Citizenship.
Reader's Workshop: Working on making inferences.
Spelling/Word Study: We will be doing spelling a little different this quarter. For most of our lists, we will be working on them for 2-3 weeks. This is the second week that we will be working on Week #24 words. Students are expected to study every night. The test will be this Friday, November 11th.
Writer's Workshop: Informational Reports. Students should have started researching their chosen animal (they will need a total of at least 3 resources which can be books and internet sources).
Math: Unit 3 - Adding and Subtracting Whole Numbers and Decimals
Science: Unit 4 - Living Things Grow and Reproduce
