Week 3 Announcements

I hope that all of you have enjoyed a wonderful, relaxing long weekend! I know that I have, but I can't wait to be back in the classroom with my girls!

Here are some announcements/reminders as we "set sail" for September and the third week of school!

"Ride the Weekly Wave" in each subject: 

Math-We will be continuing to practice representing numbers and their place values in different ways-including word form, standard form, expanded form, and using base 10 blocks. We are also introducing how to represent place value of numbers on a number line. We are testing this week.

Reading-We will be reviewing the vocabulary from the beginning of the Wonder novel as we continue reading. Students will also be responding to “precepts” found within the story as we practice our reading/writing strategies. We are testing on WONDER vocabulary this week.

ELA/Writing-We will be writing about our “Best Day of Summer,” and we will be working on the rough draft for our memoirs as we have mini-lessons on using transition words and figurative language in our writing.

Social Studies-We will be reviewing the regions and cultures of five Native American groups, and we are looking at the difference between primary/secondary sources about the Native Americans. Also, we will be learning more details about the Native American homes before we BUILD the homes!

Science-We are testing on process skills this week before we kick off learning about safety procedures in science and the steps of a simple scientific investigation.
