Fortson Updates for November 2nd

Happy November!  Here is what is happening:

Math:  Fortson math class will continue with multiplication and division.  There will be homework this week to help us continue practicing our concepts.  I would like to assess for this unit on Friday. However,  I will make this decision based on class performance during the week.  We are also reviewing concepts such as factors. multiples, prime and composite numbers.
**All other math classes need to check the agenda for assignments*

ELA/Reading: I have uploaded the new spelling pattern words on the ELA page.  Your student received a copy of these words and our grammar focus skill today.  Based on last week's assessment, students really need to be studying these words and these patterns.

Writing:  We are working on a spiral skill this week- narrative writing.  We are working to build good endurance in our writing and also to help develop and organize our writing.

Science:  We will continue with our new unit.  There is a homework assignment this week.  It went home today in Derry and Fortson classes.  Fortson class received the new Adaptation Project.  Please visit the Science page on the blog if you need to download another copy of the information packet or need more insight into what we are studying.  Due dates are listed on the page.

Social Studies:  We will begin a new unit this week. We are building up to the Revolutionary War.  Please check back this week to the SS page for more insight into what we are studying and for downloads of digital material.  Mrs. Derry will be updating the blog this week with specific information.
