Classroom Chatter
We are excited for the scientists from High-Touch High-Tech to come to our classroom for Matter Matters presentation. Ask your child about it! They come on Wednesday!
Spelling: This week we will focus on List 15: vowel plus r sounds. The homework will be sent home Monday and due Friday. The graded test will be on Friday.
Reading: We will continue working on all of our reading strategies, especially identifying main ideas and details as we use various reading materials (novels, short stories, and leveled readers). We will also be working on writing extended responses to texts.
English:
We began Unit 5 Capitalization and Punctuation last week. This week we will learn about abbreviations, book titles, introductory words, commas in a series, and practice writing good
sentences.
Science
We will finish up Matter with a test on Tuesday. The in-class field trip is Wednesday on Matter Matters.
Social Studies
We will continue our study of Ancient Egypt! We are reading a non-fiction book called Eye on Ancient Egypt. Ask your child about it and what they've learned about the pyramids, pharoahs, and the after life! Oh MY!
Math
We will take a mad minute in mix this week. We also will continue with our geometry unit. This week we will study polygons, quadrilaterals, and triangles. I tentatively have the test planned for Friday, 2/11. Also, information about the Geometry project will come home the following week!!
