This week in Math and Science/Social Studies:
Math– We will continue our measurement unit and begin to work with conversions this week. We will also continue to practice computation skills (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division).
Science – Our investigations with water displacement this week will help students understand mass, weight, and volume.
Social Studies- During the second nine weeks we will be covering the Indian Tribes of Texas. We will be learning about their settlements, appearance, clothing, food, tools, and customs. We will continue researching various tribes this week.
Stern's News!
READING: We will begin to read and discuss informational/expository non-fiction text. We will also be looking at non-fiction text features and how they help us determine meaning. This week will also focus on stating main idea based on important supporting details.
WRITING: This week we will look at examples of good expository writing. We will try "coloring" the samples before we take our expository writing piece from last week and expound on it.
SPELLING: This week's spelling words come from Unit 11. Our spelling skill concept this week focuses on contractions and comparative and superlative suffixes er and est. Spelling words for the week will be recorded by students in the far right column of the week's agenda. Pace Language Arts students will have an extra 8 words per week. Any students wishing to include the pace words into their spelling test may do so.
