January 12-16
Hello C3 Families!
ANNOUNCEMENTS
I hope you all had a great weekend!
Tuesday Envelope: Every Tuesday, your child will come home with an envelope of finished work, graded quizzes and tests and announcements. This week, they will come home with their graded Topic E Math Quiz. Please be sure to sign your student's quizzes and review the content with them. Yellow envelopes need to be returned on Thursdays.
NEW! Spelling and Grammar Trifold: We will begin a Spelling and Grammar activity that will be a weekly assignment. Please see the note about this below. This is homework only if it is not completed during the allotted class time. Plenty of class time will be given for students to work on this, so I do not anticipate much extra homework.
OUR WEEK AT A GLANCE
ELA: This week, we will continue Benchmark Unit 5, Technology for a Green Future. This unit explores the essential question, "How do we make decisions about developing new technology?" This week, we will read "Fossil Fuels: What's the Story?"
We will also be reading a bit about Martin Luther King Jr.
Writing: This week, students will continue to work on an Opinion Writing piece about if they would rather be an octopus or a parrot. Students began this piece last week and have been doing a great job!
Spelling and Grammar: This week we will be starting a weekly Spelling and Grammar trifold activity. These go along with our Benchmark units and will help students practice important skills. Students will have plenty of time in class to work on this activity, but will be required to take it home as homework if they do not complete it. This will be a weekly assignment for the rest of this school year.
Math: This week, we will be working on Module 3, Topic F. In topic F, students divide with numbers that result in whole-number quotients and remainders, and they solve word problems and assess the reasonableness of their answers
The Topic F Quiz will be on Friday.
Homework: Homework includes Math Apply Book pages, cursive, daily math review and 20 minutes of reading. Please refer to the Homework page on my website to view the schedule. Checking your student’s communicator is the best way to stay updated on homework. I try to stick to the homework listed on the website, but sometimes plans change and the communicator will have the most updated information.
REMINDERS
Please take care of all folders that come home, they need to last the whole year!
Please check and sign your student’s communicator daily
House colors on Thursdays
Looking forward to a great week!
Thank you!
Miss Covault
