Dear Parent(s) and/or Guardian(s),
Students in Room 19 are working hard
on new skills and reviewing. We are also practicing active listening, following
directions with a sense of urgency, and participating. Please be sure to
reinforce our learning at home.
Here’s a quick recap of what
students have been learning and will continue working on this week:
*Reading - Students are almost
finished with reading the novel Frindle and completing a novel assignment
packet on the book. They analyzed the book’s plot, characters (personality and
physical traits), point of view, genre, and setting. Each chapter should have 3
post-its showing thinking (visualize, connection, question, like, don’t like,
or prediction). We have gone over all types in class. We will also be
continuing practicing fluency, plot, characterization
(character traits/physical traits), Answering Short Answers Strategy (ACE)
* Social Studies - In groups,
students read, took notes, and will
present this week an assigned section of Chapter 1 on the Geography of the
United States.
* Writing – Students have been
brainstorm and prewriting for a personal narrative. We will type this, so
please send flash drives in by Friday. Students’ will have an organized 5
paragraph (introduction, 3 body paragraphs, and conclusion) essay by the end of
this week.
* Math – Students applied what they
know about money to learn about place value, rounding, and comparing decimals.
We will be focusing on the thousandths place this week, multiplication and
division with multi-digits, and number lines. There are some great games and
resources on the class website.
Assessments this week will consist
of:
·
Daily Math Review Quiz –Friday

ACE strategy and fluency
comprehension check-Friday
