Week 10

October 20-24

Hello Parents and Students,

OUR WEEK AT A GLANCE

Math:  We will begin Module 2, which focuses on measurement.  Students will be estimating and measuring mass in grams, kilograms, liters and milliliters. They will relate this concept to that of place value by using a number line and unit comparisons. Students have a test this week. The study guide will come home on Wednesday and the test will be on Thursday. 

Reader's Workshop: We will be starting a new benchmark book called Animal Adaptations.  Our focus will be answering the essential question: How do living things adapt to change?

Writer's Workshop: This week students will begin writing a narrative about a spooky house. They will focus on descriptive language and the use of adjectives to add spice to their writing. 

Social Studies: This week, students will continue with Week 32 in our Studies Weekly curriculum.  Week 32 teaches students about the United States government.

Science: Students review Elk Mountain Wolf photographs, look for similarities and variation, and identify patterns in the wolf traits.

P.E.: Please dress appropriately on Monday for P.E. class every week.
