Happy last week of October! Here is what is happening this week:
Math- We will continue and finish out Topic C Module 3 (Fortson/Maestri) that includes multiplication of two, three, and four digits by one digit. Students have learned several strategies that include place value modeling, partial products, area model with partial products and the standard algorithm. Please check for homework assignments in your child's agenda.
Reading- This week's reading selection is from our Reading Street series and is "So You Want To Be President". We will be working on possessive and plural nouns and we are still working on opinion writing. All classes are working on this reading content this week.
Social Studies: Update on Mrs. Derry's class- we will not be studying the colonies this week. In her classes, students will be learning about the election process and will have an opportunity to vote in a mock election on November 1st. All other classes will continue with the formation of the 13 colonies.
Science: We are wrapping up our Life Sciences unit this week by learning about animal adaptations. Students in Fortson's classes will receive a Feature Creature Adaptation mini project on Tuesday. There will be in-class time to do some research and the page will be provided to students once the research note sheet is completed. This will be due on Friday, November 4th. Fortson's class is planning for this unit assessment next Wednesday.
