Derry Updates for January

Hey all,
I have not updated the blog in a few weeks. Please check each subject for homework assignments. I will be updating periodically. Also parents be checking your child's agenda. If there is nothing written at all then they are not taking the time to update their day. There should always be something in their agenda written even if they do not have homework.  Here is what our week has looked like.

Writing: In writing this week, we have been working on informational writing. They are really work hard to train their brain on what strategies to use.

ELA: We have been reading "Encantando: The Pink Dolphin. Ask your child how they like doing the book talk questions!

Math: We are working on Fractions: This unit is huge so we will be here for awhile. Right now your child is learning equivalent, improper fractions, how to make a multiplication sentence with fractions, and how to draw out tape diagrams.

Science: Refer to the Science page for updates

Social Studies: We are working on Branches of Government, The Bill of Rights, and memorizing the Preamble. Both classes will be getting directions and the preamble today and Friday. They will also have directions attached. Please be aware they have 2 weeks to memorize. Derry's class will be tested on Tuesday, February 9th and Fortson's class will be Thursday, February 11th.
