Welcome Back and Happy 2016! We are half way through our year and it's amazing how quickly this time will go. Here are some things for you to know:
Math: Fortson math class will continue with fractions. There will be homework assignments this week, so please check the agenda for these. For all other math classes, please check your child's agenda. Students should be practicing the concepts they are learning in class. Fractions is a major part of the curriculum for our grade level. We want to make sure that students have a good foundation.
Reading: Starting this quarter, students are required to have a chapter book at all times. On Fridays, I will conduct a Status of the Class. Students should have communicated with me on that day (should have their book!) what they are reading. It's important that we get this reading practice in each night. This will count as a homework assignment.
ELA: This week we are working on contractions and singular/plural pronouns. I will be uploading a copy of the contractions we are working on this week as well as sending a copy home. There will be an assessment over these on Friday.
Writing: We will write an informational piece using our TIDE organizers.
Science: This week we will continue Water Cycle and finish with weather and climate this week. Next week, I will be giving a study guide with plans to test on this material in the next few weeks. Please look in the agenda for dates.
Social Studies: Please check Mrs. Derry's posts about what is happening in SS. You can also visit her page for additional resources.
