Literacy: Our whole class mini-lessons will focus on using main ideas to write a summary of an article. We will review components of a summary and the importance of telling only the most important ideas. During writing, students will begin writing an opinion piece. We will use The Day the Crayons Quit (a personal favorite!) as a mentor text to discuss argumentative writing. Students will also have a word work quiz at the beginning of next week.
Science: Next week, we'll will wrap up our first investigation series in Science. Students will take their science test on Wednesday of next week. The test will be an open notebook test. A study guide will be sent home on Monday, please have your child review for the test using their notebook. Following the test, we'll begin the second investigation series which focuses on magnetism.
Math: Geometry, units of time, and multiplicative comparison statements will be the focus of our math lessons next week. You can expect the math test the following week.
