Weekly Update

September 28, 2018

Dear Parents and Guardians,

This week we are working on literary elements in reading. Your child is reading a chapter book that pertains to the literary elements. At the beginning of next month, they will complete a book report for this book. The first book report will be a "Cereal Box" report. Your child has been given this assignment and I can't wait to see their creativity!

In Science, we are studying cell structure. This week, we created cells in small groups and labeled each organelle. We also used our knowledge of cells to solve a mystery. On Friday, we were tested on our knowledge of cell structure. Next week, we will be learning about asexual and sexual reproduction in plants and animals.

In Social Studies, students presented their state and country! I was blown away by their creativity and presentations! Each was so unique and wonderful! Next week, we will begin our Social Studies curriculum through Studies Weekly, and the students will enjoy using the app on their iPads to play games and completing activities related to our topic. We will begin by discussing geological forces.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any concerns, comments, or questions!

God bless!

Ms. Douglass
