WHAT WE ARE LEARNING

LA: MRS. PHELPS

This week we are learning how to make inferences about character traits using a characters thoughts, feelings and actions. We will use many of the main characters from Wonder and create word clouds that describe the characters. The class is also working on a cool art project with Mrs. Smith and they will be creating their own Wonder inspired portrait with words describing themselves all around! I cannot wait to see the finished products!

Morphology:  This week we will learn one new Latin base, struct, meaning to build. Some keywords are construct, obstruct, instruction

I am SO impressed with the results of the morphology quiz from last week! All students should be really proud of what they have learned so far this year! I am confident this will help tremendously with word decoding and comprehension. 

Homework: Read p. 231-270 of Wonder and complete job sheet for literature circle meetings on FRIDAY! 


MATH: MRS. BENNETT

This week in Math class we are learning how to solve a 3 and 4-digit number by a 1-digit divisor using the standard algorithm (long division.) Students will explore this algorithm using money. Students will use $100, $10, and $1 bills to show how to divide amounts like 756 / 4. As student begin to split the bills into 4 groups, they will realize they have to make exchanges. The 3 extra $100 bills will need to be traded for 30 $10 bills in order to divide. This will help students conceptualize the steps of long division.

We will continue our Saints Madness project this week. Students have chosen a saint to research. The students are working individually this year. Our goal for this week is to research about our saint. This will help the students to determine which population their nonprofit will be serving in honor of. This project will take several weeks and the updated timeline is below.
