I can't believe it is already winter break time! This year has been flying by so quickly.
NWEA: Students will take the winter NWEA this Tuesday and Wednesday. If your child will not be at school, they can make it up when they return.
Spelling Bee: The class spelling bee will take place Monday 12/17. The spelling bee is optional, but I encourage all students to participate. The winner of the class spelling bee will go on to participate in the school-wide spelling bee in January.
Reading: We will review our character lessons this week, and we'll continue to practice determining the theme and supporting it with text evidence. In the writing block, students will learn researching skills. They've begun a short writing unit about a personal passion. We will find resources this week and begin taking notes and planning for a final product. Additionally, students will work on a social studies writing activity.
Math: Students will continue working on a holiday decimal project this week. They will develop skills adding and subtracting decimals. They will also learn to "shop" on a budget!
Social Studies: Students will explore the Great Migration and learn about it's impact on Chicago. They will also discuss the World's Fair and Daniel Burnham. Throughout the week, students will also have time to work on their ABC book. By the end of the week, students should have 18-20 ABC book pages completed.
