OUR WEEK AT A GLANCE
Math: Students will have an assessment on lessons 1-7 this week. We will also be doing lessons 7-8 this week. These lessons will go over reading temperatures and practicing rounding to the nearest ten or hundred. Students will use vertical number lines to solve problems involving rounding. Students will apply these skills to estimating sums and differences.
Students will have a fluency test every Friday. They should be practicing their facts for 10 minutes each night. If students do not score 85% or above, they will not move on to the next fact family. Click here for printable flash cards.
Reader's Workshop: We will be continuing with Week 2 in our benchmark book called Animal Adaptations. Students will continue exploring animal adaptations while identifying main ideas and supporting details. They will analyze how authors use reasons and evidence, compare information across texts, and make inferences using text evidence.
Spelling: Students will practice reading and spelling words with r-controlled vowels (er, ir, ur).
Grammar: Students will practice punctuating dialogue and using adjectives and adverbs.
Writer's Workshop: This week students will be finishing their narratives about a spooky house. They will also begin a personal narrative writing assessment. They will share a funny moment they have had.
P.E.: Please dress appropriately on Monday for P.E. class this week.
