Derry Updates for the Week of January 11-15

Hey all, I totally dropped the ball last week and did not update the blog. I hope everyone had an amazing few weeks off. I know that it was great to reenergize. This week we will be having a Spelling Bee on Friday. Last week was very short so we did not finish everything and will continue on with last weeks lessons.

ELA: In ELA we are going to continue to read Paul Bunyun and work on Figurative Language. Last week we focused on Similes and will go into Metaphors and idioms.

ADW Study: We will also stay with the same words for this week. They are possessives and we will continue to put into our writing.

Math: We are working on fractions. This week we will continue working with equivalent fractions, simplest form, and improper fractions. For the student's that are in my math class, we are working on a different technique. We are working more in small workstations. The students are responding and working really hard.

Social Studies: We are finishing up with the Revolutionary War. We are having a vocabulary quiz on Monday. The students will be working on questions from their Social Studies Weekly.

Science: Refer to Mrs. Fortson's science icon
