Writing
We will be finishing up our rough drafts of our persuasive essays this week. Students will type them before break and we will edit when we return to school in January.
Reading
This week, we will be reviewing main idea and details through reading Animal Smarts. We will also be working on the nonfiction reading skills of scanning the text structure and some of the tricky parts of nonfiction, such as misleading headings, confusing facts, or too much information.
Language Arts
Wordly Wise: We will begin learning unit 8 this week. 8A & 8B will be due on Thursday. The unit 8 test will be on Wednesday, 12/21 due to our class party on Thursday.
Words Their Way: We will continue splitting into our small groups for spelling this week. Tic-Tac-Toe activities will be due on Thursday, which will also be their quiz day. We will not have Words Their Way next week.
Math
Unit 3 study guides are due tomorrow. We will take our test on Wednesday and will begin Unit 4 before break. Unit 4 will cover different algorithms for multiplication. The more fluent students are with multiplication facts, the easier this chapter will be for them!
