Curriculum Corner
Writing
This will be our last week to work on our narratives. All students are done with their first draft. We will spend this week holding writing conferences and doing final revisions.
Reading
This week, we will finish reading The Tiger Rising. While we read, we will do some reflection of what we covered this quarter and will talk about theme and common threads that were used throughout the book.
We will also be finishing up Unit 1 in Reach for Reading. We will read Chiyo & Naoki, with a focus on using context clues to learn more about setting. I will also give a short assessment over the concepts learned this unit: main idea & details, author's purpose, and plot.
Language Arts
Wordly Wise: We will finish unit 4 this week. 4C & 4D will be due Thursday. The unit 4 test will be on Friday, 10/14.
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
This week, we will continue working on unit 2 in math. Topics covered will include: multiples, prime and composite numbers, and story problems.
Science
Most of the groups are close to being done with their trials. We will finish up data, write reports, and create our boards in class this week. We hope you can join us for our science fair presentations on Friday at 11:30 am! The kids have done a great job!
