Week of December 17th
What's Happening?
As the weather begins to get colder, it is required that students are dressed appropriately for recess in order to go outside with the group. Please encourage your child to bring a heavy coat and wear pants (not shorts) on the cold days ahead.
Our Winter Parties are on December 19th from 1:00-2:00. Please remember that siblings should not attend classroom parties.
Don't forget to submit December reading minutes for the Media Center. See link below.
In this week's Friday Folder:
Reading and Word Study with Mrs. Lee
Reading: Students will be using the nonfiction skills they have learned to research a topic of their choice. Students will not need their devices this week. We will be researching the "Old Fashioned Way"...in books!
Word Study: No more word study unit until January!!
Writing with Mrs. Rogers
Grammar- No grammar this week
Science and Social Studies with Ms. Wiley
This week we tested on the Great Depression. Students will be reviewing their graded tests next week in class. The retake will be on 12/19. This was our last test of the semester :)
Science:
Students have reviewed their Genetics (Learned and Inherited Traits) test in class and written down the retake date, I moved it to 12/17, in their agendas. In order to retake this assessment students must complete the Summative Mastery Ticket and submit all attached work to me on the retake date. Remember, students are only allowed to retake 2 assessments per subject, per semester.
Looking ahead: Next week we will be working through our final science unit for the semester focused on Physical and Chemical Changes. We will be working through various experiments in class that will count as a summative project grade for the unit.
