Salmon's Week 9 Update
October 25th-30th
Overview
Reading: We read a mystery story, Encyclopedia Brown and the Slippery Salamander. The students worked on character, setting and plot as our reading skills. We also worked on contractions in grammar.
Writing: We are using an online program called StoryBird and the students are writing stories based on the images they selected. We have fantasy, horror, humor and a little realistic fiction in the works. The students seem to love the process and are working on collaborating.
Science: We will be finishing our unit on the Human Body this week. Next week we will have a quiz over the entire unit Tuesday. Please review the study guide with your child the next few days.
Social Studies: We have started the Southeast with a BANG! The students connected via SKYPE with a class in North Carolina. They taught us all about their region and some fun facts in history. This was a great experience for all the students in North Carolina and at Ridge View. We hope to do this more often.
