OUR WEEK AT A GLANCE
Math: This week we will continue with lessons 8-11. Students will round numbers to the nearest ten and hundred, estimate sums and differences, and interpret data displayed in scaled bar graphs.
Students will have a fluency test every Friday. They should be practicing their facts for 10 minutes each night. Click here for printable flash cards.
Reader's Workshop: We will continue Week 3 in our benchmark book, Animal Adaptations. Students will deepen their understanding of animal adaptations by identifying main ideas and supporting details. They will use context clues to determine word meanings, analyze reasons and evidence, and make inferences about cause-and-effect relationships.
Spelling: Students will practice identifying closed syllables and using syllable patterns to decode unfamiliar words.
Grammar: Students will use coordinating conjunctions to form compound sentences and subordinating conjunctions to form complex sentences.
Writer's Workshop: This week, students will continue their personal narrative writing assessment.
Social Studies: This week, students will continue with Week 34 in our Studies Weekly curriculum. Week 34 teaches students about local government.
Science: Students will investigate how traits are passed from parents to offspring and use evidence to explain patterns of inheritance.
P.E.: Please dress appropriately on Monday P.E. Class every week.
