Happy last week of October! Here is what is happening this week:
Math- Fortson math class will continue with division. There are some great websites on my math page as well as the Website Resource page. Last week's division quiz was given out for students to redo. Please check with your child about this quiz. There will be homework assignments this week.
For all other students, please check your child's agenda for daily assignments.
ELA/Reading: For reading, we have started a new story with a new story packet. We work on this during the week and students must turn it in on Friday to receive full credit. We are also working on some small group reading work that should also help students on Friday's SS test.
Spelling words went home today. We we over these and there is a homework assignment that combines practice with these words as well as our grammar focus of singular possessive nouns. I also emailed this list to parents on Sunday night and you can download a copy of it on the ELA page if you need one! There will be a spelling/grammar test on Friday,
Writing: We will be assessing opinion writing this week. Students will receive a timed prompt and are expected to use the strategies and graphic organizer that we worked on in class for the past two weeks. This assessment will count as a grade.
Science: We will begin our new unit...check out the Blog PAGE!! Students will be taking notes and the textbook will be a great resource for some of this material. I will upload material as I get it scanned into the computer.
Social Studies: This week will be the last week of the Colonization unit. Please visit the SS page for updates from Mrs. Derry. Just a reminder that part 1 of the SS test is Wednesday. Part 2 will be on Friday.
