Hey all! The holiday is right around the corner and then we won't be blogging until the new year. I can't believe how fast this month is going. Here are the cliff notes for this week:
ELA: We are reading a "Eye of the Storm." The students have a story packet but are not to do it. We are working on this together in class. This only becomes work if they do not turn in their other assignments.
Writing/Grammar/Advanced Word Study: We are working on Compare and Contrast. We took a practice MICA writing test last week that did not go as well as I thought it should. So, this week we are breaking apart the writing. One group is solely writing introductions, one group is details, and one group is conclusions.
Advanced Word Study: We are doing the same words from last week because we did not get to finish studying them. Some of the assignments for advance word study have been to put their words in a sentence and to define the words by telling what type of word it is.
Grammar: We are focusing on past, present, and future verb tense
Math: We are working on Topic 8: This is division by 2 digit and 3 digit. We will be testing on Friday. Please be working with your child on multiplication facts and helping them with the steps of division.
Social Studies: We are continuing with The American Revolution. Right now we are focusing on the main leaders and the African Americans that were a pivotal part of the war. This week I did not assign any homework except for them to put all notes in interactive notebook. Some of the students are not glueing these in and will need them for their test. It is their responsibility to put these in their notebooks.
Science: Mrs. Fortson is finishing up with the moon phases. There will be a test this Thursday.
Lastly, My homeroom class has been sent an email about the Holiday party. Please be on the look out for an email from Renee Clowers. It will be to sign up for supplies. Thanks again for all you all do daily to ensure your child is succeeding.
