Derry's Class: I just wanted to say what an awesome event the Hoedown was and thank you so much for everyone's participation. I have never seen so many people in one place for a school event. I know that we raised so much money for our amazing school. This week's focus:
ELA: We will be working on opinion writing, plural nouns, and concentrating on correct punctuation in everything we write.
Advanced Word study: We are focusing on ar, or, er words and how the sounds are different. The students will be working with these words in work stations and will do a dictation test on Friday.
Reading: This week we are doing a Reader's Theatre. "Colonial Time Machine," will focus on historical periods and events, bringing history alive.
Math: Finishing up Topic 4: Fact Families
Social Studies: Colonial Times: This week we will talk about the Triangular Trade and what life was like in the New England, Middle, and Southern Colonies.
Monday's Homework:
ELA/Reading: If your child did not finish the Advanced Word Study, it was homework. The Advanced Word Study was a word sort.
Math: Worksheet on Division
Social Studies: We went over five sheets on New England, Middle, and Southern colonies. We went over together. They had to cut out and put in interactive notebook. If they did not finish this, it is homework. All they need to do is cut and glue in notebook.
Reminder: The pumpkin project is approaching and their are several students who have not turned in their timeline and personality web. The timeline was due last week and the personality web was due today. Please know that this is a grade and we are preparing your child to be able to hit deadlines. It is important that they are held accountable. Please encourage them to do this on their own.
