We have a great happenings in the next few weeks! Please check your email for the update of the new testing dates. We have also rescheduled our field trip as well. The price should remain the same, so at least that part is unchanged and already taken care of by most of our students. Here is what is happening this week:
Math: Fortson math class is working through decimal comparison and ordering. We will also add and subtract decimals. We took a quiz on Friday over what we have learned so far. These will go home this week. As always, redos are available on any graded work through the last week of the nine weeks. There will be homework this week. Please check your child's agenda.
Reading/ELA: This week we have a new weekly work plan. We are reading expository text on Smoke Jumpers. We are very fortunate to have Mrs. Derry's brother, a local firefighter join us on Wednesday to talk about what he does here in Knoxville. The work plan should be completed in class, but is due on Friday.
Writing: This week we will be doing a timed informational writing this week.
Science: This week will start our new unit on Matter (physical changes). We will be taking notes in the interactive notebook. There will be a homework assignments.
Social Studies: This week Mrs. Derry will be focusing on the SS Weekly #24. Some parents have asked me how they can help support Social Studies. One way to do this would be to read through the articles with your child.
