Congratulations to my Pen Man finders! First finders got a donut!
Here is what is happening this week:
Math: In Fortson math class this week, we will begin fractions on Tuesday. All students will be taking the Knox County Module assessment over the next two weeks. I will be updating the Fortson math page with resources to help us as we navigate our new content.
ELA: This week, I have uploaded the new spelling pattern words to study. We will be working on homophones. We are also working on helping verbs. There will be some homework assignments if students do not finish the assignments in class.
Reading: We will be reading our new story this week, Adalina's Whales. Students are learning to be strategic readers by close reading and understanding story structure. As you listen to your child read to you at home, stop and ask questions so that they begin to reflect on what they are reading, not just calling words on a page.
Science: New Unit! This week, we will start talking about the Earth and the moon. There are great resources for this unit, so check back later this week as I update the science page. Also, make sure to check out the pictures posted on the page this week with our mealworms.
Social Studies: This week, we will focus on pre-Revolutionary figures and events. Students should have many resources in their interactive notebook, and we will be talking about Paul Revere's ride in reading this week. Mrs. Derry is updating her page, so check there for specific information about her class.
Reminders: Don't forget that we will go on our field trip next Monday. If you volunteered to go, then I will be sending out an email to you to give you the 411. Students should wear their class tshirts.
