Week 20
This week, we will have our annual Bass Hall field trip on January 20th. We will leave at 9:00 am and return at approximately 2:00 pm. The students are encouraged to dress appropriately for the venue. We will be eating lunch at Kincaid's Hamburger Restaurant in Weatherford, Tx. The lunch cost ranges from five dollars to seven dollars. Please see the flyer that was sent home for specific details concerning lunch. While parents cannot attend the Bass Hall portion of the day, they are welcome to attend the lunch portion of the day.
Last week, we had three students that competed in Seguin's Geography Bee. We are so proud of J.T, Will, and Jacky!
Texas History
We wil be taking our 3rd LDA assessment this week.
Science
We will be taking our 3rd LDA assessment this week.
Math
We will be adding and subtracting 3-and 4-digit numbers, including decimals. We will discuss different strategies, including how to represent a subtraction problem on a number line. Last week, we discovered that regrouping across the zero place value is an area of practice that will be sent home for homework this week. PowToons will be our technology of choice when representing and explaining our addition and subtraction number lines.
Reading
During reading time, we will be working on identifying similarities and differences between the events and characters' experiences in a fictional work and the actual events and experiences described in an author's biography or autobiography. We will use cupcake wrappers to brainstorm and provide visual reference for our comparison pieces.
Writing
"Your words have creative power.
Say it, believe it, and you'll see it!"
This week, we will create one word that will impact our future. We will write about our one word and explain how our word connects to our future. Our technology of choice will be BlendSpace.
Word Work
Last week, we finalized our revision and editing notes for our Oregon students power points. This week, we will continue the same type of thinking when playing a game titled, 'Revise and Edit Search and Slap Down'. We will explore revision and editing issues found in print, including written and typed formats. Our technology of choice will be Google Docs and Slides.
Please look for daily practice at home (aka homework) to resume this week!
