Ms. Harris' Weekly Update
October 7th-11th
What's Going On This Week:
Ms. Harris' GT Math and ELA: In math this week, we are finishing our place value unit with a project where students will create their own base number system, similar to our base ten system. Students will have to apply what they know about place value to create their system and explain how it works. In ELA, we will start recording our dramas that were written last week. Students will be recording these in Imovie during class and will have till Friday to publish their movies and submit them to me. We will also be starting spelling this week. Students are in groups for spelling this year and unlike last year, everyone will receive their words on the same day (Monday.) Then they will have two weeks to study their words. They will complete 4 different sorts in class during those days, as well as 2 activities they will choose from a choice board to do for homework. All 6 sorts (4 in class and 2 at home) will be returned the following Friday. On that Friday, the students will all take their spelling tests. They are welcome to complete more than 2 sorts at home during that 2 week window, but only 2 will be checked as homework. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding spelling.
