Week  of  October 20th - 24th

This week is a full week of school!  It is a week filled with quests and challenges.  Gamers have been leveling up on the gameboard and collecting many badges!  They continue to accept any challenge with a positive attitude and enthusiasm.  

Reading -  We have begun our mission in Greek mythology.  The students have truly been enjoying this.  We will be learning about Hercules, Trojan Horse, Pandora, Athena, and Poseidon.  Many more to follow in the upcoming weeks. We will be identifying their character traits with evidence from the story.  They will be learning about Allusions found in Greek Myths and how we apply them to our own lives.  

Math - Place Value, rounding and adding and subtraction.  We will be having our Unit test on Thursday.  I will be offering math extra help on Thursday at 8 am.  All are welcome.

Writing - Understanding different types of sentences and expanding our kernel sentences.  Identifying a sentence vs. a fragment.  We will have a challenge to level up in our writing.  Gamers have been very successful with using conjunctions.  

Social Studies / Science - Important landforms in New York and different types of energy and how they transfer.  

There will be many challenges mixed in so you can level up on the gameboard and receive your special badges to be placed in your Badge Book.
